This study tells the story of the political reception of Søren Kierkegaard in Weimar Europe. Much of this reception, I argue, is easily framed through the concept of tragic romanticism. While the bulk of this study is devoted to the Weimar reception, it also ventures back into nineteenth-century Denmark in order to see whether or not there are correspondences between Kierkegaard's reception and his production. I argue there are such correspondences between the tragic romantic thought of Kierkegaard's receptors and Kierkegaard himself, though these correspondences are not always easily accessible. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Religion and Philosophy in partial fulfillment of the requirements
