ABSTRACT

One of the major events in the more recent history of Kierkegaardian research in Romania was the First International Symposium “Kierkegaard Today” (Bucharest, April 23-24, 1999). The conference was jointly organized by the Faculty of Philosophy (University of Bucharest) and the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre (University of Copenhagen). It was the fruit of a cooperation agreement and mutual exchange between the two parties, which was signed in 1998. A couple of the conference papers from this event, which gathered more than a dozen scholars from both sides, were published in the Revue Roumanie de Philosophie in 2001.1 Among them, Madalina Diaconu’s article titled “Die Kierkegaard-Rezeption in Rumänien,” offers a comprehensive historical overview of Romanian Kierkegaard scholarship.2
