BRAVO JORDAN, Federico Nassim. Kierkegaard's Critique of the Liberal Press in 1835-1836: The Debate with Ostermann, Lehmann, and Hage. Humanidades [online]. 2026, n.19, e198.  Epub 01-Jun-2026. ISSN 1510-5024.  https://doi.org/10.25185/19.8.

In this article, I would like to explore the background to Kierkegaard’s criticism of the liberal press. Although it seems that this controversial relationship began in 1846, with his A Literary Review and the incident involving The Corsair, Kierkegaard actually devoted several of his early writings to the debate with the liberals. Specifically, I will examine two groups of texts: (1) the 1835 speech “Our Journalistic Literature”; and (2) the four articles published in 1836 in the Kjøbenhavns flyvende Post in which he debates with the liberal journalists Orla Lehmann and Johannes Hage. My purpose is to show that Kierkegaard’s goal was not only to display his talent for polemics, but also to offer arguments against the position of liberal journalists.
