Thank you!

We have identified and found much of this work thanks to a detailed biography from Prof. J J Degenaar, which has been an invaluable guide.  In identifying student work we also thank Andrew Nash’s paper ‘How Kierkegaard came to Stellenbosch’. Some of the original presentation details provided here are thanks to Ian Bunting, who edited the work published posthumously in Philosophical Papers and in The Ethics of Illegal Action.
