Søren Kierkegaard (Author), Alastair Hannay (Translator)

Description

The first new translation of Kierkegaard's masterwork in a generation brings to vivid life this essential work of modern philosophy.

First published in 1844, Søren Kierkegaard’s concise treatise identified—long before Freud—anxiety as a profound human condition, portraying human existence largely as a constant struggle with our own spiritual identities.

Reviews

"“[A] book at once so profound and byzantine that it seems to aim at evoking the very feeling it dissects. Perhaps more than any other philosopher, Kierkegaard reflected on the question of how to communicate the truths that we live by.”" — The New York Times
