Talk:Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments
 |
This article falls within a proposed limits on quotations policy.
The subject of this article is a book, and as a result, the proposal would set a limitation of five lines of prose (or eight lines of poetry) for every ten pages. If you would like to add another quote to the page, you should consider whether to remove one that is already there in order to keep within the bounds of fair use of copyright material. |

editAs the title suggests, the Postscript is sequel to the earlier Philosophical Fragments. The title of the work is ironic because the Postscript is almost five times larger than the Fragments. The Postscript credits Johannes Climacus as the author and Kierkegaard as its editor. Like his other pseudonymous works, the Postscript is not a reflection of Kierkegaard's own beliefs. However, unlike his other pseudonymous works, Kierkegaard attaches his name as editor to this work, showing the importance of the Postscript to Kierkegaard's overall authorship.

editBoth are not quotes, that directly relates to this work. -- Mdd (talk) 18:14, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
With five lines of prose for every ten pages, this article (from a book of 650 pages) may consist of about 325 lines, while the current article (version: 03:23, May 29, 2014 11614soup (Talk | contribs | block) . . (53,636 bytes)) consist of about 900 lines. This means 2 out of every 3 quotes has to be removed.

- For the same reason this ongoing expansion of the article, while the limit of quotation is excedeeded is not acceptable. -- Mdd (talk) 13:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
