The Sickness Unto Death | A Christian Psychological Exposition For Upbuilding and Awakening | Søren Kierkegaard

One of the most momentous philosophical works of the nineteenth century, renowned for the profundity and sharpness of its cutting edge mental bits of knowledge.

Composing under the pen name Climacus, Kierkegaard investigates the idea of "despair," cautioning perusers to the decent variety of manners by which they might be portrayed as living in this condition of distressing deserting—including some that may appear to be the exact inverse—and offering a much-talked about recipe for the destruction of hopelessness. With its entering record of oneself, this late work by Kierkegaard was colossally powerful upon twentieth-century savants including Karl Jaspers, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. The Sickness unto Death can be viewed as one of the key works of mystical existentialist idea—a splendid and impactful response to one man's battle to fill the profound void.
