Soren Kierkegaard

Professor Roberts: I want to start with a proper pronunciation or how we should be pronouncing what is often written and read as Kierkegaard. We have a kind of an American negation of the Danish, which is Kierkegaard; you slur over the second K and then you make it OR at the end. For our listeners, just so you know, we're going to be talking about Soren Kierkegaard,. And if you see it written, it will look to you like Soren KierKEgaard. Professor Roberts: Maybe Karl Bart was taking this distinction between a kind of cultural Protestantism and a more authentic Protestantism from Kierkegaard.
