Description
Søren Kierkegaard was a pivotal European philosopher of the 19th century, widely regarded as the founder of existentialism. This book provides a clear and structured overview of his key concepts, including immediacy, sin, despair, individuality, and the crowd, drawing on both his signed 'edifying' works and pseudonymous writings. The book offers a balanced exploration of Kierkegaard's project, situating it within its historical, biographical, and philosophical context. It also examines the relevance of his ideas to contemporary society, making it an ideal introduction for those new to his work. By exploring Kierkegaard's thought in depth, this book provides a valuable insight into one of the most important thinkers of the last two centuries. Starting with Kierkegaard is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the Danish philosopher's project, covering both the development of his ideas and their ongoing influence today.
