The articles in this volume employ source-work research to trace
Kierkegaard's understanding and use of authors from the Greek
tradition. A series of figures of varying importance in
Kierkegaard's authorship are treated, ranging from early Greek
poets to late Classical philosophical schools. In general it can be
said that the Greeks collectively constitute one of the single most
important body of sources for Kierkegaard's thought. He studied
Greek from an early age and was profoundly inspired by what might
be called the Greek spirit. Although he is generally considered a
Christian thinker, he was nonetheless consistently drawn back to
the Greeks for ideas and impulses on any number of topics. He
frequently contrasts ancient Greek philosophy, with its emphasis on
the lived experience of the individual in daily life, with the
abstract German philosophy that was in vogue during his own time.
It has been argued that he modeled his work on that of the ancient
Greek thinkers specifically in order to contrast his own activity
with that of his contemporaries.
