In Either/Or,using the voices of two characters - the aesthetic young man of part one,called simply'A',and the ethical Judge Vilhelm of the second section - Kierkegaard reflects upon the search for a meaningful existence,contemplating subjects as diverse as Mozart,drama,boredom,and,in the famous Seducer's Diary,the cynical seduction and ultimate rejection of a young,beautiful woman. A masterpiece of duality,Either/Or is a brilliant exploration of the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical - both meditating ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures,and eloquently expounding the noble virtues of a morally upstanding life.
