Now Reading: Kierkegaard's Either/Or Pt. 1
I’m taking a Philosophy course in Existentialism (what’s college without a course in existentialism) and we will be reading a ton of Kierkegaard, including Either/Or, Concluding Unscientific Postscript…, The Sickness Unto Death, and Philosophical Fragments.
I was surprised that we won’t be reading Fear and Trembling, but am glad to tackle some of his longer/harder stuff. As you will soon find out from what I write on Kierkegaard, I don’t know much about him. Stay tuned for some ignorant posts on an important philosopher.
I expect to trample over his statement: “It is exactly right not to be understood, for one is thereby protected against misunderstanding.” He would probably prefer that I am unable to write about him at all, which would indicate that I do not understand him rather than misunderstand him. Here’s to hoping I get him right.
