To \u201cupbuild\u201d what is<br \/>there, the current field of study, supporting, nurturing, inspiring, promoting\u2014but to do so<br \/>without drawing boundaries that exclude the surprising, the challenging, the different, and the<br \/>critical. The IJKR seeks to publish research that opens Kierkegaard\u2019s texts anew for our \u201cpresent<br \/>age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kierkegaard conjured the single individual of modernity by appealing to his singular reader: his<br \/>impact on our empirical world would be difficult to overstate. To become a reader, for<br \/>Kierkegaard, is to be changed by the text: goaded\u2014as by a Socratic gadfly\u2014to a more earnest<br \/>responsibility. The IJKR aims to facilitate the back and forth of scholarly response and original<br \/>text, of scholarly conversation and dialogue, and of interplay between scholarship and the<br \/>demands of \u201cactuality.\u201d It hosts a virtual space in which writing on Kierkegaard questions and<br \/>invigorates our experience, and in turn, tests and inspires by what happens today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its roots in the Hong Kierkegaard Library, which supports students and scholars from<br \/>around the world in coming together and accessing resources for reading Kierkegaard, the new<br \/>Journal aims to provide a platform for the fruits of this research. Outstanding essays should be<br \/>available to others to read, and the IJKR aims to support scholars producing excellent work in a<br \/>way which is indexed and recognized by the broader academic community. This is the goal of<br \/>the Journal: to strengthen the field of Kierkegaard studies, from undergraduate students, through<br \/>established and already esteemed scholars, in such a way that \u201cstrengthening\u201d might also mean<br \/>\u201copening,\u201d and \u201cbroadening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this spirit we solicit rigorous and imaginative essays from scholars in diverse fields, including<br \/>philosophy, religious studies, psychology, politics, literature, and those scholars working at the<br \/>intersection of disciplines: on the subject of Kierkegaard\u2019s texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Editors,<br \/>Anna S\u00f6derquist, Kierkegaard Library, St. Olaf College, USA<br \/> Elizabeth Xiao-An Li, S\u00f8ren Kierkegaard Research Centre, University of Copenhagen, Denmark<br \/> Frances Maughan-Brown, College of the Holy Cross, USA<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Journal of Kierkegaard Research Vision A specialist journal has everything to do with the paradox of community.
