{"product_id":"9780881465167","title":"International Kierkegaard Commentary Volume 13: The Corsair Affair","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn late 1845 Søren Kierkegaard began a literary duel with the satiric Danish review \u003ci\u003eThe Corsair\u003c\/i\u003e that had momentous effects on his life and work. The affair prompted Kierkegaard to ponder and write about the use and abuse of the press. His reflections on this subject led him to examine topics that included communication, the public, the public morale, and the issues of social legitimacy, the relation of the individual to society and, surprisingly enough, the nature of the comic. \u003ci\u003eThe Corsair Affair,\u003c\/i\u003e is not like any other volume previously published or planned in the series. It contains only a few pages of Kierkegaard's own published writings, while his unpublished journals constitute most of the volume. The second-largest section reprints the cartoons and articles about Kierkegaard published in \u003ci\u003eThe Corsair\u003c\/i\u003e and includes excerpts from the autobiography of Meir Goldschmidt, editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Corsair.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercer University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019068817648,"sku":"9780881465167","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780881465167_p0.jpg?v=1763850862","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780881465167","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
