Reviews
In January 1950, the Danish philosopher and theologian K.E. Logstrup delivered a series of lectures at the Freie University in West Berlin. Originally published in German at the time, and now here appearing in English as part of a four-volume series of his key works translated by Robert Stern and others, the result is one of the finest comparative studies of Kierkegaard and Heidegger ever written. There is the old adage about Logstrup which works engaging him inevitably reference when observing his importance to Denmark but relative obscurity elsewhere: verdensberomt i Denmark ("world-famous in Denmark"). No longer! With this eminently readable English translation from Robert Stern and colleagues, the long overdue reception of one of the twentieth century's great thinkers has finally begun. * Steven DeLay, Old Member, Christ Church, Oxford, The Review of Metaphysics *
