Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

Synopsis

In 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 seducer's diary, the cynical seduction and ultimate rejection of a young, beautiful woman.
