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. Tbe 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 I safe ice, risking nothing. But he . I would manage to impress the crowd. I Kierkegaard in modern times: I Donnelly equates the no-risk skater

Although Penn didn't come cl03e to that goal, Myers said the achool was ~far fro111 disappointed at lta result •. "We lost, in a word," he aald. "But we dld better than we did the year before. Our alumni roughly contributed $2.5,000 more than In 1987. And we had more people living because we went from 46 percent fu 48 percent participation." He added: "Yale has a very fine (fund- rablng) operation. We were pleased to • i t closer to them than we had in the past."

conference as its own philosophy Life must be understood back- wards, But ... it must be lived forwards. - Soren Kierkegaard ,,:Z9"55" By Jeanne Freeman Tribune Stall Writer H E'S RIGHT, of course. Peo- ple stumble forward as best they can. But hindsight al- ways was better vision. This wlSdom can be purchased on recycle paper for the price of $1. You get Kierkegaard, the founder of existentialism, on a greeting card. Don't be surpr1Sed by that. It's a sign of the times, boom times for phi- losophy. For Kierkegaard in particu- lar, according to John Donnelly, phi- losophy professor at the University of San Diego. Donnelly says the 19th- century Danish philosopher is popu- lar again. There is more evidence than sim- ply finding Kirkegaard selling well in a card shop, Donnelly notes. There is a 500-member Soren Kierkegaard Society. There is a Soren Kier- kegaard Newsletter. Princeton Uni- versity is publishing new editions of Kierkegaard translations And, here in San Diego, the Soren Kierkegaard Conference, opened today at USD. The conference, sched- uled to r w. threut:h Saturday, has at- tracted scholars from all over the country. Some come to do battle.

going through the motions to politi- cians and otber newsmakers who, for example, might don military garb and venture into the jungles of Ni- caragua - just long enough for pho- tos to be taken. 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.
