ABSTRACT
The Oxford Handbook of Kierkegaard belongs to the genre. It is edited by two veteran Kierkegaard scholars, John Lippitt and George Pattison. The task of The Oxford Handbook is rendered more difficult due to the complex and varied nature of Kierkegaard's thought, which defies traditional disciplinary categories. In The Oxford Handbook the editors have managed to assemble an outstanding group of contributors who, it can be said, represent some of the leading scholars in the field. The 29 articles generally represent new and original research informed by the most discoveries and scholarship in Soren Kierkegaards Skrifter and Kierkegaard Research: Sources, Reception and Resources. "Many of the older works in Anglophone Kierkegaard studies seem almost formulaic in the way in which these ideas get continually rehearsed. The Oxford Handbook takes up the much more difficult task of trying to define and delimit constellations of issues and concepts which fit together more naturally and illuminate a larger field of Kierkegaard's thought.
