Volume 8

Tome II covers the reception of Kierkegaard in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe. The first set of articles, under the rubric Southern Europe, covers Portugal, Spain and Italy. A number of common features were shared in these countries reception of Kierkegaard, including a Catholic cultural context and a debt to the French reception. The next rubric covers the rather heterogeneous group of countries designated here as Central Europe: Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. These countries are loosely bound in a cultural sense by their former affiliation with the Habsburg Empire and in a religious sense by their shared Catholicism. Finally, the Orthodox countries of Eastern Europe are represented with articles on Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia and Romania.
