The various kinds and conditions of love are a common theme for
Kierkegaard, beginning with his early "Either/Or," through "The
Diary of the Seducer" and Judge William's eulogy on married love,
to his last work, on the changelessness of God's love. "Works of
Love," the midpoint in the series, is also the monumental high
point, because of its penetrating, illuminating analysis of the
forms and sources of love. Love as feeling and mood is
distinguished from works of love, love of the lovable from love of
the unlovely, preferential love from love as the royal law, love as
mutual egotism from triangular love, and erotic love from
self-giving love.
This work is marked by Kierkegaard's Socratic awareness of the
reader, both as the center of awakened understanding and as the
initiator of action. Written to be read aloud, the book conveys a
keenness of thought and an insightful, poetic imagination that make
such an attentive approach richly rewarding. "Works of Love "not
only serves as an excellent place to begin exploring the writings
of Kierkegaard, but also rewards many rereadings.
