Who is Kierkegaard?
Kierkegaard was an influential Danish philosopher of the 19th century.
His work grappled with the fundamental question of human existence; how to find meaning in life. He delved into the complexities of human nature and the challenges living in an increasingly fragmented and broken world. He further explored exestentialism and faith.
“The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but, if one will, are to be lived” — Kierkegaard
He prioritised the importance of;
- Self reflection
- Personal choice
- Authenticity
According to Kierkegaard, true meaning can only be found by becoming an authentic, fully conscious person, free from the expectations and judgments of others.
