This volume contains the first five of the journals marked by Søren Kierkegaard with “NB” and numbered from [1] to 36. The journals in DSKE 4 (from 1846 to 1848) contain the dispute with the satirical sheet ?Corsar’ and the political revolution. Here Kierkegaard’s central themes take on contour (the individual, the antithesis between an “imitation” Christianity and the existing Christianity).
