Life Lessons from Kierkegaard

📗 Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, literary stylist and social critic. Born in 1813 in Copenhagen, his philosophical work addressed living as a single individual and the importance of personal choice. A famously fierce critic of the idealist thinkers of his time, he is regarded as the first existentialist philosopher. Here you will find insights from his greatest works.

The Life Lessons series from The School of Life takes a great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to us today. These books show how wise voices from the past have urgently important and inspiring things to tell us.

This book is written by Robert Ferguson, author of the Viking history The Hammer and the Cross and biographer of Henrik Ibsen and Knut Hamsun. He has published two novels in Norwegian and is also an award-winning dramatist.
