In his review of Fru Gyllembourg's novel Two Ages Kierkegaard described his time as an age of reflection contrasting it with the age of passion. Reflection thus seems to be the sickness of the modern age - and almost all of the Kierkegaardian pseudonym authors appear to engage in a polemic against the different symptoms of this sickness. Infinite reflection on the other hand, appears to be one of the main conditions of an authentic life. Immediacy, in so far as it is one of the typical characteristics of an aesthetic life style, as well as finite reflection seem to be rejected by Kierkegaard. The ambition of the conference is to investigate the different positions of both key concepts in Kierkegaard's authorship.
