It also has an interesting cameo as early as 'The Seducer's Diary' section of <i>Either/Or</i> Pt.I and also occurs as late as <i>The Moment</i>, where he refers to contemporaneity as 'my life's thought'. So the concept finds turns up at both ends of Kierkegaard's authorial career and all through the middle too. For an overview, may I be obnoxious enough to suggest my rather awkwardly-titled paper "'See For Your Self': Contemporaneity, Autopsy, and Presence in Kierkegaard's Moral-Religious Psychology" in <i>British Journal for the History of Philosophy</i> (April 2010).<br /><br />I'd be interested to hear more about this conference - are you working with Gadamer's use of Kierkegaardian contemporaneity? (Bonhoeffer also does interesting things with it).Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611374246534216687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-14418288312686328992010-07-31T11:24:30.162-07:002010-07-31T11:24:30.162-07:00Hey Samuel,

In fact, some colleagues of mine at the UBC department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory are holding a symposium on the subject of contemporaneity early next year.<br /><br />I see Fear and Trembling in your canon. Are there any other Kierkegaard texts that deal with contemporaneity?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160273518307630838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-25253133725940112192010-06-17T14:29:50.159-07:002010-06-17T14:29:50.159-07:00a nice article about the 'guy', if I may s...a nice article about the 'guy', if I may say...<br /><br />http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2010/05/24/100524crat_atlarge_gopnik<br /><br />the topic of the post and of the artcile are near from each other@PierreDDNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485581322634051533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-82561514118908593202010-06-14T23:16:03.883-07:002010-06-14T23:16:03.883-07:00Wow! this is a great thought!
