Life Lessons from Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author. Born in 1813 in Copenhagen, his philosophical work addressed living as a single individual and the importance of personal choice and commitment. A famously fierce critic of the idealist thinkers of his time, he is regarded as the first existentialist philosopher. Here you will find extracts from his greatest works. Robert Ferguson takes this great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to ordinary everyday dilemmas.
