The Society aims to bring together persons from all walks of life with an interest in the works of Søren Kierkegaard. We meet annually at a mini-conference to discuss papers on Kierkegaard, including his relation to various contemporary movements of thought. Papers on the relationship between Kierkegaard and Freud, Heidegger, Derrida, Levinas and Cavell, amongst others, have recently been delivered. Meetings are usually in May, on the Saturday nearest to Kierkegaard's birth date (5 May).

Membership, with effect from 2000, is £10 per year (concessions £4). The Society is completely dependent upon members' subscriptions to cover its costs. Subscriptions may be sent to the Secretary at any time.

The Society is a corporate member of the British Philosophical Association (BPA).
