Written by Kierkegaard between January and September 1850, the NB Journals contain autobiographical notes, philosophical-theological reflections (on hermeneutics), commentaries on his own work and the works of others (ranging from readings of Hugh of Saint Victor to Victor Hugo). The texts enable the reader to share in Kierkegaard’s thinking and writing process, which served his continuous self-scrutiny.

The second volume of the DSKE contains Kierkegaard’s journals and notes from the years 1836 to 1846. The core of the volume is made up of examination preparations and materials for his early work. Of exceptional significance is Journal JJ (1842–1846), that can be regarded as a discussion forum and literary workshop paralleling his pseudonymous work; the volume also contains Kierkegaard’s reflections on the breakdown of his engagement to Regine Olsen.

DSKE 2 is based on the new critical historical Danish edition and provides both the translation of the journals and notes and the commentaries in one volume.

Key features:

first critical edition of Kierkegaard’s journals
first complete edition of the journals in Germany
includes detailed commentaries

This volume contains 15 so-called notebooks, written by Kierkegaard between (approx.) 1835 and 1849. The individual texts are not only revealing from a personal-biographical perspective, but also provide valuable information for the understanding of the genesis and character of Kierkegaard’s thought and writing. The contents can be categorized in five groups: Notes in context of examination preparation (i.e. Not1); excerpts and commentaries on contemporary theologians and philosophers (i.e. Not9–11); mixed theological, philosophical and aesthetic comments (i.e. Not12–14); travel notes (i.e. Not6); recapitulation of the relationship to his former fiancé.

This volume contains the first five of the journals marked by Søren Kierkegaard with “NB” and numbered from [1] to 36. The journals in DSKE 4 (from 1846 to 1848) contain the dispute with the satirical sheet ‛Corsar’ and the political revolution. Here Kierkegaard’s central themes take on contour (the individual, the antithesis between an “imitation” Christianity and the existing Christianity).

Kierkegaard’s NB-journals from July 1848 to May 1849 contain autobiographical texts (such as the conversations with King Christian VIII) and philosophical-theological reflections as well as increasingly radical social critique and comments related to his oeuvre. The journals provide an insight into Kierkegaard’s self-reflection on the relationship between the author’s life and martyrdom.

In the entries made between May 1849 and the beginning of 1850, Kierkegaard pursues the writing and thinking processes that characterize his NB Journals, which include autobiographical and work-related entries as well as philosophical and theological reflections – for example, on Luther. Not least, he articulates his attempts to affirm himself as a religious writer during an era that is indifferent or at best confused about religion.
