FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Either/Or is a brilliant exploration of the conflicts inherent in life between living aesthetically, and living morallyIn Either/Or, using the voices of two characters - the aesthetic young man of part one, called simply A, and the ethical Judge Vilhelm of the second section - Kierkegaard reflects upon the search for a meaningful existence, contemplating subjects as diverse as Mozart, drama, boredom, and, in the famous Seducers Diary, the cynical seduction and ultimate rejection of a young, beautiful woman. A masterpiece of duality, Either/Or is a brilliant exploration of the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical - both meditating ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures, and eloquently expounding the noble virtues of a morally upstanding life.
