History Of

Kierkegaard was, at least during his early years, an avid reader of Hegel's philosophy. For example, his dissertation,The Concept of Irony, constitutes a careful study of, among other things, Hegel's account of Socrates in theLectures on the History of Philosophy, and of Hegel's discussion of Romantic irony in both theLectures on Aestheticsand the book review of Solger'sPosthumous Writings. Similarly, in connection with the analysis ofAntigoneinEither/Orand the discussion of universals and particulars in the unfinishedJohannes Climacus or De Omnibus dubitandum est, Part Two, there is clear evidence that Kierkegaard consulted the relevant parts of Hegel'sPhenomenology of Spirit. Based on these examples, Kierkegaard's use of Hegel can almost always be characterised asad hoc. He goes directly to specific passages or discussions in Hegel's texts, which are of special interest in connection with works that he himself is writing. Thus, when working onThe Concept of Irony, the first part of which is concerned with Socratic irony, Kierkegaard goes specifically to the section in Hegel'sLectures on the History of Philosophythat treats Socrates, without feeling any obligation to read the book from cover to cover.
