Kierkegaard by Robert Ferguson

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, including Hegel, Goethe, and Hans Christian Anderson, he is regarded as the first existentialist philosopher, and his Fear and Trembling is one of the classics of modern philosophy. Here you will find insights from his greatest works, in the "Great Thinkers on Modern Life" series, which highlights ideas most relevant to ordinary, everyday dilemmas.
“There is a good deal to be learned from these little primers” -- The Observer (London)
“The School of Life offers radical ways to help us raid the treasure trove of human knowledge.” -- Independent on Sunday
“Thoroughly welcoming and approachable. If the six books in The School of Life can teach even a few readers to pay passionate heed to the world—to notice things—they will have been an unquestionable success.” -- John Banville
Robert Ferguson is the 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.
