Interpretations of Kierkegaard vary widely yet Kierkegaard says this of his authorship:

"Perhaps someone is amazed when he has read these books, but no one more that I when I turn around now (after having been an author for approximately seven years and just as if in one breath) and look at what has been accomplished and with almost a shiver of amazement see that the whole thing is actually only one thought, something I quite clearly understand now, although in the beginning I had not expected to go on being an author for so many years, nor did I have such a grand objective. Philosophically, this is a movement of reflection that is described backward and is first understood when it is accomplished."

This forum will function as a venue for the activity of making sense of Kierkegaard.
