While Hans Lassen Martensen has for many years been seen through the lens of Kierkegaards tireless polemics, he has recently become the object of serious scholarly interest in his own right. The articles in this anthology are authored by leading Danish and international scholars in the field of Danish Golden Age philosophy and theology and investigate his important role as a mediator of German philosophy and theology to the world of Golden Age Denmark, offering rich insight into the trends such as Hegelianism, mysticism and rationalism as they appeared in the Danish intellectual life of the period.
