ABSTRACT
Collected Papers on Kierkegaard comprises four papers written by Xin Ru, a Marxist scholar in Western philosophy and former vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The book was first published by He’nan University Press in Kaifeng in 2008. In order to understand the book better, one must kept in mind that Ru Xin wrote the very first Chinese research paper on Kierkegaard’s philosophy and thought in 1982, which was published in 1985 in a series of books entitled Critical Biographies of Famous Western Philosophers.1 The paper marked the beginning of Kierkegaard study in Mainland China.
