I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both. - Søren Kierkegaard [2032x1149]

Question about German/English Translations

Might be a bit of a weird question, but I have read the Hirsch translation of "Pholosophical Fragments" amd liked it well enough, even though it is pretty clunky at times.

I want to read more (specifically fear and tremling and anxiety) but I have heard that the Hirsch translations are fairly controversial.

I guess the question I have is does anyone here know of a translation (preferably German, but can also be English) that is close to the original text?

I would just read the Hirsch versions still, but I'm a bit afraid that his dogma (and sentence constructions) influence the vibe too much or distort the argument.

Thanks in advance to whoever is as obsessed with translation """accuracy""" as I am

i’m sorry if this is a somewhat dumb question, but after reading fear and trembling, should i go to either/or or the sickness unto death?

i have both on my shelf, just a case of which one to read first, or do it really even matter?
