  • Summary

  • Repetititon(1843) is a difficult and, for many, a baffling work by Søren Kierkegaard. It is equal parts psychological study, literary riddle, and philosophical problematic. In this discussion, we attempt to shed light on its central concept of repetition, how its interior dialectic differs from the Hegelian concept of mediation, and what the possibility of repetition means for the peculiarly modern problems of personal identity, historicity, and contingency. We interrogate the unusual literary form of the work, explain Kierkegaard's method of indirect communication, and ask how the task of freedom, or existential authenticity, reconciles itself (or fails to) with ethical and social obligations.
