Dear Professor Creegan,

I succeeded finally in downloading your two publications,
the one one about the relationship of Kierkegaard's thought
to contemporary feminism, the other about Kierkegaard's
thought as demonstrating techniques of mediation between
otherwise apparently irreconcilable world views.

I have read both papers in their entirety, with pleasure.
I know that I am not qualified to offer any substantive
criticism of your work; and I am not certain that even if
I were, I should wish to do so, overly impressed as I
am with the incommensurability of the experiences which
have made the lives of each of us uniquely our own.

The issues which you address have long been of much
interest to me, but I have reservations about accepting
Kierkegaard as my guide. On feminism I have commented
at some length in a novel (in German) which is published
at thenerve2.com/lit/andere on the World Wide Web.

The need to translate between the essentially positivistic
interpretation of human nature which characterizes my
profession (medicine) and the existential-mystical
interpretation which corresponds to my own experience
has preoccupied me for many years; but I have found no
social context for my ideas and have had no occasion
to try to publish them.

I am impressed with the courtesy and patience with which
you have replied to some of the more strident voices
on the Kierkegaard list. I wish to thank you and to
wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year.
