Stages on Life's Way - Søren Kierkegaard (1845)

 
Stages on Life's Way is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard written in 1845.  The book was written as a continuation of Kierkegaard's masterpiece Either/Or. While Either/Or is about the aesthetic and ethical realms, Stages continues onward to the consideration of the religious realms. ... Here he wrote: ‘When my Philosophical Fragments had come out and I was considering a postscript to clothe the issue in its historical costume, yet another pseudonymous book appeared: Stages on Life’s Way, a book that has attracted the attention of only a few (as it itself predicts) perhaps also because it did not, like Either/Or, have The Seducer’s Diary, for quite certainly that was read most and of course contributed especially to the sensation. That Stages has a relation to Either/Or is clear enough and is definitely indicated by the use in the first two sections of familiar names.’ ...”
