So he was the joker!
if kierkegaard was born today he would have laughed all day and night
Well I am really happy to be the part of that "little of you" who does the leap of Faith. Never regretted it in any way thanks to God.
I will not hang myself. And I will not regret it.
He's a indistinct mess only read by mediocrities GIVE ME SCHOPENHAUER
Guy sounds like a bummer haha
Could ya pronounce the name correctly maybe.? You don't even have to pronounce 'ø' at least just the rest of his name
Is the cult of Optimism unique to 20th Century America? Why or why not?
Exactly how I feel about the world and my view. Also his solution is also mine but I will rather use it as an emotional reason not an intellectual reason and no such 'leap of faith' I would rather say that it isn't an argument for God but more of food that we need desperitely. This philosopher is a great one and really shows us how deeply the world is a terrible and for him, laughable.
He would be considered a christian existentialist. That life has no meaning and we should rely on Jesus and christianity. I am part of that. They are really touching to the heart of man and of society
His last name ''Kierkegaard / Kirkegård'' means church yard ( Graveyard) Which is well fitting since he only wrote about death
how can the school of life be so versed in philosophy and still support capitalism? rhetorical question btw…
That is an extremely tall order which is enough to drive one to insanity.
"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards" -Kierkegaard
I liked that quote.
Philosophy texts imply a certain type of gravity. Reading Aristotle, Kant or Descartes is not easy, it does not matter facing Heidegger or Hegel. The problem, perhaps, is that our understanding is used for more practical or technical discourses, and we tend to forget that the theoretical ways of thinking are different.

A marvelous :you can understand life backwards. but must live it forwards. In very simple way , try to imagine yourself presently in your car driving in a simple road ….you can not go forward safely without seeing from time to time backward to check the situation …..i think
Totally taken God out of SK and thus you don't understand him at all.
wow, my fav philosopher
Hang yourself and you will regret it?…umm how?
Elliot Alderson?
"Angst" is just the German Word for "Fear"
So you expect us… to listen to stuff a person who fell in love with an 18 year old child…, thought…. As if it was valuable philosophy? Why? How come? Who would be interested in a Mind like that?
I am frustrated with this and other analyses that do not seem to understand that most of Kierkegaard's works were written from perspectives he didn't necessarily agree with. For example, most of Either/ Or Volume 1 was written from the perspective of a young hedonist, and most of volume 2 was written from the perspective of an elderly Christian judge – and what's more, both "authors" included inserted opinions from their friends and the whole work starts off as presented by the person who "found the manuscripts in a dueling pistol case."
Quoting works like these (including Sickness Unto Death) is like quoting a character from The Social Network and attributing their opinions to Aaron Sorkin. Kierkegaard's real views were published under his own name, usually one volume released with each new work he put out from an exploratory perspective.
It's a nice coincidence that his surname means cemetery.
Wow, great video. Glad to see Kierkegarad found true and honest faith. A sad story, but not one without hope, he found the one good answer out their in the cosmos.
5:05 Wow, so the Christianity vs. Churchianity Debate was alive and well back then too. ?
Ugh. Not the kind of writing that Im looking for. Is ithis existentialism, or just flat out pessimism? What good does a doom and gloom perspective provide us? I feel like I can skip over this man's work and be better off without having read a word of it. Miss me with your emo point of view.
"courage is to risk being fined 10 dollars" omfg lol
Great animation
On Antonio Gramsci
Life is nothing but a test from Allah the one and only God, one must have faith ??one must be patient…
"A human being is a spirit. But what is a spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation"
Yeahp. Philosophy in a nutshell.
hang yourself or dont hang yourself, youll regret it! lol
