In his praise for Part I of Upbuilding Discourses in Various Spirits, the eminent Kierkegaard scholar Eduard Geismar said, 鈥淚 am of the opinion that nothing of what he has written is to such a degree before the face of God. Anyone who really wants to understand Kierkegaard does well to begin with it.鈥� These discourses, composed after Kierkegaard had initially intended to end his public writing career, constitute the first work of his 鈥渟econd authorship.鈥�


Characterized by Kierkegaard as ethical-ironic, Part One, 鈥淧urity of Heart Is to Will One Thing,鈥� offers a penetrating discussion of double-mindedness and ethical integrity. Part Two, 鈥淲hat We Learn from the Lilies in the Field and from the Birds of the Air,鈥� humorously exposes an inverted qualitative difference between the learner and the teacher. In Part Three, 鈥淭he Gospel of Sufferings, Christian Discourses,鈥� the philosopher explores how joy can come out of suffering.
