There can be no doubt that most of the thinkers who are usually
associated with the existentialist tradition, whatever their actual
doctrines, were in one way or another influenced by the writings of
Kierkegaard. This influence is so great that it can be fairly
stated that the existentialist movement was largely responsible for
the major advance in Kierkegaard's international reception that
took place in the twentieth century. In Kierkegaard's writings one
can find a rich array of concepts such as anxiety, despair,
freedom, sin, the crowd, and sickness that all came to be standard
motifs in existentialist literature. Sartre played an important
role in canonizing Kierkegaard as one of the forerunners of
existentialism. However, recent scholarship has been attentive to
his ideological use of Kierkegaard. Indeed, Sartre seemed to be
exploiting Kierkegaard for his own purposes and suspicions of
misrepresentation and distortions have led recent commentators to
go back and reexamine the complex relation between Kierkegaard and
the existentialist thinkers. The articles in the present volume
feature figures from the French, German, Spanish and Russian
traditions of existentialism. They examine the rich and varied use
of Kierkegaard by these later thinkers, and, most importantly, they
critically analyze his purported role in this famous intellectual
movement.
