Reviews for Kierkegaard´s Writings, XII, Volume II: Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments
"The definitive edition of the Writings. The first volume ... indicates the scholarly value of the entire series: an introduction setting the work in the context of Kierkegaard's development; a remarkably clear translation; and concluding sections of intelligent notes."
