Two ages

In 'Two Ages: A Literary Review', Kierkegaard critiques the novel 'Two Ages' by Thomasine Christine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd, using it as a platform to discuss the societal shifts from the Age of Revolution to the Present Age. He argues that the Present Age is characterized by a lack of passion and an emphasis on conformity, leading to a depersonalization of individuals.

Kierkegaard advocates for a return to individuality and ethical stances despite societal pressures.
