In a bold new argument, Ulrika Carlsson grasps hold of the figure
of Eros that haunts Soren Kierkegaard's The Concept of Irony, and
for the first time, uses it as key to interpret that text and his
second book, Either/Or. According to Carlsson, Kierkegaard adopts
Plato's idea of Eros as the fundamental force that drives humans in
all their pursuits. For him, every existential stance-every way of
living and relating to the outside world-is at heart a way of
loving. By intensely examining Kierkegaard's erotic language, she
also challenges the theory that the philosopher's first two books
have little common ground and reveals that they are in fact
intimately connected by the central and explicit topic of love. In
this text suitable for both students and the Kierkegaard
specialist, Carlsson claims that despite long-held beliefs about
the disparity of his early work, his first two books both relate to
love and Part I of Either/Or should be treated as the sequel to The
Concept of Irony.
