Earlier, by phone from his snow- bound home in Mississippi, he de- clared his intentions: "I'm going to defend myself." Provided, he added, the arctic cold relaxed its icy grip and freed the local airport. This proviso was both sensible and Kierkegaardian. The father of exis- tentialism warned against unrealis- tic fantasies of achievement. You can't lie around watching TV all day • long and entertain any real hope of NBA glory. You can't take a plane _ out of Mississippi unless the snow melts. Unrealistic fantasies only cause you misery. Kierkegaard called it "the despair of infinitude," Donnelly says. According to Donnelly, Kier- • kegaard would have no patience with the saying, "You can be anything you want to be." You can't, and that's that. Dreams have to be tempered by reality. On the other hand, Donnelly re- marks, Kierkegaard didn't approve of the opposite extreme, either. He would have frowned mightily at any- one who whined, "What's the use?" and gave up without effort. In Donnelly's view: He's speaking to you, American voter. Donnelly explains the current in- terest in Kierkegaard by the philoso- pher's relevance to current society. "He predicted the rise of how-to books, pop psychology and manuals for lovers." Donnelly believes Kierkegaard would have understood photo oppor- tunities. Kierkegaard told the par- able of the jewel on thin ice. In a "passionate, engaged age" a skillful skater would skate out on thin ice to retrieve a jewel and the watching crowd would cheer him on. In a non-passionate age, the skater would only go through the motions. He would skate along the edge of the safe ice, risking nothing. But he . I would manage to impress the crowd.

Life in the '80s is reflected in some of the topics slated to be discussed at this week's conference: Kierkegaard in relation to feminism, the media and psychotherapy. Kinya Masugata

will review Kierkegaard's reception in Japan. And, inevitably, sessions immediately before and after lunch on Saturday will address computers and Kierkegaard research.
