Kierkegaard and the Philosophical Traditions

Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 

Faculty of Humanities, Trondheim, Norway 

August 15-16, 2012

Sponsored by The Nordic Network of Kierkegaard Research (NordForsk), 

in cooperation with The Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre and NTNU’s Theory of 

Science Forum

Kierkegaard’s role as a philosopher has long been a disputed one. While he has been hailed as the forerunner of existentialism, he has also been described as a poetphilosopher and dismissed by proponents of analytic philosophy as “not a real philosopher.” But in recent years scholars have begun to reconsider many of the established views about Kierkegaard’s relation to philosophy. Today Kierkegaard is gradually making his way into central discussions in mainstream philosophy such as debates about narrative identity, ethics, religion, and philosophy of mind. At the same time he remains an important figure in historical studies of 19th-century philosophy, theology, and literature as well as in his relation to the leading figures of the existentialist movement.

This conference has as its goal to explore these various relations by opening up for studies in source-work research, history of reception, and current debates within philosophy and related fields such as theology and literature. We plan to include special sessions dedicated to the following: 

Kierkegaard and Antiquity, the Patristics and the Middle Ages, 

Kierkegaard and Kantianism, Romanticism, and German Idealism

Kierkegaard and Danish Golden Age Philosophy, Theology, and Literature

Kierkegaard and Existentialism

Kierkegaard and Contemporary Debates
