In his preface to this second edition of Historical Dictionary of Kierkegaard's Philosophy (first edition, ed. by Julia Watkin, CH, Jul'01, 38-5912)Barnett remarks that it is intended to "serve a few key purposes: (1) to synopsize the pivotal periods of Kierkegaard’s complex oeuvre, (2) to situate Kierkegaard’s writings in their sociohistorical context, and (3) to consolidate a number of indispensable resources for Kierkegaard’s study.” Barnett includes an extensive chronology covering 1756 through 2012 and a biographical introduction. The dictionary itself is alphabetically arranged, beginning with the term “Absolute” as Kierkegaard used it, and concluding (following the Danish alphabet) with “Ørsted, Hans Christian (1777–1851)," an eminent “Danish chemist, physicist, and philosopher.” Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. General readers.
