Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

Description
In Either/Or, using the voices of two characters - the aesthetic young man of part one, called simply 'A', and the ethical Judge Vilhelm of the second section - Kierkegaard reflects upon the search for a meaningful existence, contemplating subjects as diverse as Mozart, drama, boredom, and, in the famous Seducer's Diary, the cynical seduction and ultimate rejection of a young, beautiful woman. A masterpiece of duality, Either/Or is a brilliant exploration of the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical - both meditating ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures, and eloquently expounding the noble virtues of a morally upstanding life. Review: Fundamentals of life - One of the best philosophers, even great in satire and humour. Review: original - product quality is best

Veio com um amassado na capa.
A minha maior crítica vai para a própria Amazon, pois o livro (conforme a foto) veio com uma parte da capa amassada e veio simplesmente solto dentro da embalagem. Falta de cuidado e de consideração pelo cliente. Comprei esta edição por ser a mais acessível em termos de idioma + preço. É uma versão resumida, então antes de comprar é bom checar o que foi ou não omitido do material original. É uma aquisição atraente pela portabilidade, apesar de ser um livro bem grande ainda. As páginas têm uma textura que lembra as de um jornal e a capa é bem maleável, percebe-se que não é um material de altíssima qualidade. Fora o descuido no manuseio e entrega, me parece uma boa edição para um estudo casual; um estudo acadêmico formal necessita de uma edição completa da obra, que não é o caso aqui. A classificação é referente à entrega, o material em si é o que esperava.

This is a work of pure genius
Utterly authentic genius 👏. Kierkegaard understands a great many matters; and if one has the sagacity to understand him, his literature unravels profound depth. Either/Or is a masterpiece of both philosophical genius and literary brilliance.
