A Literary Review
I'm baffled by the goodreads' community's high ratings for this book. It has nice passages, but as a whole it's a freaking mess: summary of a boring novel; over-interpretation of said novel; awful post-Hegel babble about contradictions; random romantic assertion about passion/love and so on.
I thought, for the first half, that Kierkegaard was doing his usual irony, and actually mocking the novel under discussion. It appears not. I thought he was mocking the 'passion' of the romantic era; not so.
All that said, it's Kierkegaard, so there's great sentences and even paragraphs and some pretty good ideas, too (his discussion of reflection vs action turns out to be much more nuanced than it initially seems). And you can't help but think whether our own age is more like the revolutionary/ passionate, or the reflecting/prudent age. Neither, really. But it's worth thinking about, at least.
