For Kierkegaard the most important thing in life is to become a single individual or a true self. We are all born as human beings, but this makes us only members of a crowd, not true selves. To become a true self, we must transcend what we are at any given time and orient ourselves to the possible and to the actuality of the possible, to which all that is possible owes itself. True selves exist only in becoming, they are fragile, and that is their strength. They are not grounded by their own activities, but in a reality extra se, the flip side of which is a deep passivity that underlies all their activity and allows them to continually leave themselves and move beyond their respective actualities toward the new and the possible. Therefore, without the passion of possibility, there is no truly single individual. This study of Kierkegaard's post-metaphysical theology outlines his existential phenomenology of the self by exploring in three parts what Kierkegaard has to say about the sense of self (finitude, uniqueness, self-interpretation, and alienation), about selfless passion (anxiety, trust, hope, and true love), and about how to become a true self (a Christian in Christendom and a neighbor of God's neighbors).

"The study of affect has become a dynamic field spanning a range of disciplines from psychology over neuroscience to philosophy and cultural studies. Little attention however has been payed to material culture. This book presents an innovative set of ethnographies of the affective relations between people and things. It tackles the sensual experiences of materiality, through taste, sounds, smells and touch that are hard to verbalize or represent in images. Evocative situations are detailed, like for instance the packing of a suitcase at the splitting of a marriage; how people in the besieged Sarajevo were both helped and humiliated by the aid received from abroad; how the parting of objects after the parents’ death may result in siblings never talking to one another again. These ethnographies from Scandinavia, the Balkans and the US, focus on what affects do in everyday life rather than what they are. The volume is also provided with chapters that put the studies of affects in ethnology and anthropology in a wider scholarly frame and discuss theories and methods applied in the book.Sensitive Objects in the first place addresses scholars and students in Ethnology, Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies, as well as other readers interested in affects and emotions, material culture, tourism, innovations, and post-socialism. I dagens forskning har det uppstått ett dynamiskt fält där så vitt skilda vetenskaper som filosofi och neurovetenskap, psykologi och filmvetenskap börjat föra dialoger med varandra. Det handlar då om affekters inverkan på liv och handling. Mycket av den forskningen har än så länge rört sig på ett principiellt plan. Med den här boken ger sig etnologer och antropologer i kast med det konkreta – tingen och de olika affektiva kopplingar som uppstår mellan människor och den omgivande materiella kulturen. Mängder av kunskap förmedlas via sinnena – smaken, ljuden, lukten och beröringen som är svåra att verbalisera eller förmedla via bilder eller symboler. I Sensitive Objects finns förtätade etnografiska beskrivningar av situationer som t ex hur den kappsäck som en uppriven hustru, en deporterad, – eller varför inte en vanlig resenär – packas full av såväl hopp som förtvivlan; hur ett arvskifte ger ting från föräldrahemmet ett affektionsvärde som kan få syskon och efterlevande att kapa alla band och hellre gå till domstol än börja samtala; eller hur de belägrade invånarna i staden Sarajevo under kriget fick paket med mat och förnödenheter som inte bara lindrade utsattheten utan också ökade känslan av förnedring och vanmakt. I dessa och ytterligare typfall analyseras användbarheten av ett affektivt perspektiv vid förståelsen av relationen mellan människor och tingen omkring dem. Etnografin i boken tar läsaren med till olika delar av Skandinavien, till ett oroligt Balkan och en resa genom södra USA. I tre av bidragen diskuteras också hur affektstudier kan komma till praktisk användning i tillämpade innovationsstudier. Boken inleds med en utförlig diskussion där de affektiva perspektiven sätts in i en etnologisk och antropologisk kontext. Särskilt utrymme ägnas här de metodologiska och teoretiska utmaningar som detta öppnar för.Den här boken är visserligen ett pionjärarbete i sitt slag inom de nämnda disciplinerna, men vänder sig också till forskare och studenter inom sociologi, kultur- och turismstudier, och naturligtvis till en bredare läsekrets med intresse för studiet av känslor, musik, materiell kultur, innovationer och postsocialism.

Wie nahe stehen sich die jüdische Gedankenwelt und die Ideen Sören Kierkegaards? In einer dialogischen Konstellation findet die geistige Wahlverwandtschaft darauf eine Antwort. Richard Blättel nimmt dazu drei alttestamentarische Erzählungen mit existenzieller Färbung in den Blick: den Sündenfall, die Opferung Isaaks und Hiob. Sowohl Kierkegaard als auch die jüdischen Denker haben sich mit den biblischen Narrativen befasst, wobei das Motiv der Wiederholung zum Brennpunkt wird. Zwischen Schöpfung und Offenbarung kreist das erzählende Denken, das sich von der traditionellen Denkgeschichte des Abendlandes abgrenzt. Dabei entsteht philosophisches Pathos als eine Form leidenschaftlichen Denkens.

Recently, a conference of scholars considered resources and results in Kierkegaard research. In part one, "Resources," J.C. McLelland gives a short account of the acquisition of the Malantschuk collection by McGill University, H.P. Rohde discusses the collection as a basis for research, and H. Möller comments on its accessibility to scholars. N.J. Cappelørn examines the importance of the Papirer as a resource. In part two, "Results," H.V. Hong analyzes Kierkegaard's concept of "Thought-Experiment," relating it to Kierkegaard translation. J. Walker elucidates four of Kierkegaard's assumptions concerning communication and notes the difficulties these pose for creating real human community. M. Cargignan's paper presents the concept of the "eternal" as a synthesizing force acting upon body, soul, and spirit. H.A. Nielsen distinguishes between two levels of indirect communication in Mark 6:45-52 and calls attention to the significance of this distinction for understanding Kierkegaard. The last two essays present the results of computer research at McGill: A.H. Khan explores the concept of passion in Concluding Unscientific Postscript, and A. McKinnon offers a spatial representation of the relations among Kierkegaard's thirty-four works. The volume, containing responses by R.L. Perkins, R. Archer, P. Carpenter, D. Lochhead, D. Goicoechea, and R. Johnson, will be of interest to Kierkegaard, Philosophy, and religion scholars, and those engaged in computer research in the humanities.
