The final volume of Princeton's Kierkegaard's Writings series, the "Cumulative Index" provides wide-ranging navigation to the preceding twenty-five volumes. Composed of over 90,000 entries, the "Cumulative Index" offers access to Kierkegaard's complex authorship and the extraordinary range of subjects he addressed in his writing.
