Kierkegaardian Studies was one of the first French studies of Kierkegaard to treat him as a coherent philosopher and theologian, and raised questions that became central to Kierkegaard studies and to Existentialism in general.[2] Before Wahl's book, very few people in France knew much about Kierkegaard. After it, almost every French intellectual did.[3]
