On the Concept of Irony and The Sickness Unto Death

null
Book •
Kierkegaard's "On the Concept of Irony" explores irony as a philosophical and literary device, while "The Sickness Unto Death" delves into the nature of despair and the search for meaning in life.

Both works are foundational texts in existentialist philosophy.

They grapple with themes of individual freedom, responsibility, and the relationship between faith and existence.

Kierkegaard's writing style is characterized by its intensely personal and often paradoxical nature, challenging readers to confront their own beliefs and experiences.

His influence on subsequent thinkers, particularly in existentialism, is undeniable.
