Publisher's Synopsis
The first existentialist philosopher is generally regarded to have been Sren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic, and novelist. With a penchant for metaphor, sarcasm, and parables, he published critical works on organised religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion. He emphasises the value of individual choice and dedication while placing a strong emphasis on how one should live as a "single individual" and prioritising tangible human experience above abstract thought.
