This initial tome covers the period from the beginning of the Hegel reception in the Danish Kingdom in the 1820s until the end of 1836. The dominant figure from this period is the poet and critic Johan Ludvig Heiberg, who attended Hegel’s lectures in Berlin in 1824 and then launched a campaign to popularize Hegel’s philosophy among his fellow countrymen. Using his journal Kjøbenhavns flyvende Post as a platform, Heiberg published numerous articles containing ideas that he had borrowed from Hegel. Several readers felt provoked by Heiberg’s Hegelianism and wrote critical responses to him, many of which appeared in Kjøbenhavnsposten, the rival of Heiberg’s journal. Through these debates Hegel’s philosophy became an important part of Danish cultural life.

This second tome treats the most intensive period in the history of the Danish Hegel reception, namely, the years from 1837 to 1841. The main figure in this period is the theologian Hans Martensen who made Hegel’s philosophy a sensation among the students at the University of Copenhagen in the late 1830s. This period also includes the publication of Johan Ludvig Heiberg’s Hegelian journal, Perseus, and Frederik Christian Sibbern’s monumental review of it, which represented the most extensive treatment of Hegel’s philosophy in the Danish language at the time. During this period Hegel’s philosophy flourished in unlikely genres such as drama and lyric poetry. During these years Hegelianism enjoyed an unprecedented success in Denmark until it gradually began to be perceived as a dangerous trend.

It proposes a phenomenological version of the event that transforms the definition of phenomenon, subjectivity and phenomenology itself in order to do justice to the phenomenality of the event.
At the same time, Event and Subjectivity is the first book on Claude Romano’s understanding of phenomenology in English. It also offers a fresh reading of the phenomenology of Jean-Luc Marion by highlighting the phenomenon of the event.

Abstract
Although some commentators have drawn attention to the relationship between Freud and philosophy, particularly the influence of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche on the Viennese psychoanalyst, the same emphasis has not been placed on highlighting the importance of Kierkegaard’s thought as a theoretical antecedent of the future field of psychoanalysis. The aim of this article is to reveal the central formulations of The Concept of Anxiety as a thematic and conceptual anticipation of Freud’s early writings. Freud’s first writings from the end of the 19th century, in which an intimate link between anxiety and sexuality is proposed, can be considered as a deepening of the issues raised in The Concept of Anxiety, a consideration that assumes a certain thematic continuity between the psychology of spirit and Neurosenpsychologie.
Abstract
Kierkegaard’s pseudonymous works mean a rupture with the philosophical modern ideas about subjectivity. This rupture can be appreciated in The Concept of Anxiety and The Sickness unto Death. These psychological works presuppose a theory of the subjectivity of sin. Both show that the freedom in which the self was once constituted cannot respond to possibility, since it opens the door to sinfulness. Thus, man must plunge into the desperate realization that before God he will lose, rendering useless his attempts at self-foundation.
Abstract
Philosophical conceptions elaborated by the representatives of the Marburg School of Neo-Kantianism, Herman Cohen, Paul Natorp, and Ernst Cassirer, admit of characterization as an endeavor to give a contemporary answer to Kant’s principal problem—the quandary of the possibility of the mutual coexistence of science (causality), ethics (norms), and aesthetics (purposefulness). Neo-Kantians were conscious of the fact that fundamental forms of our being-in-the-world—which Cassirer dubs “symbolic forms”—obey distinct and irreducible principles. The response to Kant’s question of the “harmony in contrariety” existing among science, ethics, and art is just a theory of culture as a concurrence of diverse forms—equally valid and legitimate—of humans’ bestowing of sense and world-building. Through the power of symbolic thought, as a coping mechanism for survival in the indifferent materiality of the cosmos, humanity builds up, Cassirer proposes, a spiritual cosmos, an “ideal” world of their own.
