The preparation for publication of volumes 6, 7, and 8, and to begin work on volumes 9 and 10 of philosopher Søren Kierkegaard's journals and notebooks, an English-language edition of his unpublished writings. (36 months)

An international group of well-known scholars of philosophy, history, and religious studies is producing a critical, scholarly, English-language edition of the unpublished writings of the Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55). These writings, collectively entitled "Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks," are being published by Princeton University Press. The first volume appeared in 2007, and one volume has been completed every year since then. Five volumes have now been published, and the sixth on schedule to be published in 2012. We expect to maintain this publication schedule - a volume a year - until all eleven volumes have been published. Approximately 50% of the project's costs are being borne by a major grant from the Danish government.
