Soren Kierkegaard

 Q:   Ask a Question about Soren Kierkegaard       
Soren Kierkegaard Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a Danish philosopher, considered to be the founder of existentialism.

Short Biography:

He disagreed with Hegel, arguing that no system of thought could explain the unique experience of the individual. He defended Christianity, suggesting that God cannot be known through reason, but only through a "leap of faith". He believed that God and exceptional individuals were above moral laws.

Born in Copenhagen, where he spent most of his life, he was the son of a Jewish merchant, but was converted to Christianity in 1838, although he became hostile to the established church, and his beliefs caused much controversy.

A prolific author, he published his first important work Enten-EUerfEither-Or in 1843, and notable later works are Begrebet Angesti'Concept of Dread in 1844 and EfterskriftlPost-script in 1846, which summed up much of his earlier writings.
