    about the journal

    The International Journal of Kierkegaard Research invites submissions of original works on any topic relating to Kierkegaard. We are open to a broad range of approaches, disciplines, and traditions, and we support efforts to build bridges between different schools of thought. As an international journal committed to fostering dialogue in Kierkegaard research around the globe, we welcome submissions from authors working in any country. We are committed both to promoting rigorous scholarship and to bringing in new voices and perspectives on Kierkegaard.

    HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENTS

    After 40 years in publication, the Hong Kierkegaard Library is bringing the Søren Kierkegaard Newsletter to a new platform as an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, making its contents available to students and scholars through libraries and other searches, and reshaping it in terms of content, depth, and reach. Among other things, we’ve introduced the new title International Journal of Kierkegaard Research. The first issue is planned for publication in 2024.
