Selections from the Writings of Kierkegaard

Name: Selections from the Writings of Kierkegaard
Author: Søren Kierkegaard

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813–1855) was a Danish philosopher and Christian writer who lived almost entirely in Copenhagen. In a brief, intense writing career he explored faith, anxiety, despair, and what it means to become a Christian as a single individual, often publishing under playful pseudonyms. In his last years he attacked the established Danish church in print. Our library holds selections from his writings and his late essay The Crowd Is Untruth.

About this book

A selection from the writings of Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher and Christian author, in English translation. The extracts present his searching attacks on comfortable, nominal Christianity and his summons to become a single individual before God in faith. Kierkegaard wrote in the 1840s and early 1850s; his work reached English readers only in the twentieth century.
