Description

Soren Kierkegaard, who was once born in Denmark and died there on the age of forty-two, is regarded by many as the father of existentialist thinking. All the way through his lifetime the Hegelian theologian he reacted against the Hegelian theologists in Denmark, denounced organized religion and held that the act of choice by an individual was once all-essential.

The Diary covers the essential elements in Kierkegaard’s life, including his childhood, his relations with his father, the influence of other writers on him, his broken engagement (which had a far-reaching effect on the remainder of his life), and his celebrated quarrel with the Church.

Kierkegaard’s writings are essential because he’s almost the first European author to take a up to date, analytical, psychological approach to religion. Proust, Joyce, and Aldous Huxley were only a number of the up to date writers influenced by the Dane; and Jean-Paul Sartre’s philosophy of existentialism is in line with his thinking.
