Product Description
Product Description
Influencing philosophers such as Sartre and Camus, and still strikingly modern in its psychological insights, Kierkegaard’s The Sickness Unto Death explores the concept of ‘despair’ as a symptom of the human condition and describes man’s struggle to fill the spiritual void.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
About the Author
Danish-born S¢ren Kierkegaard (1813-55) wrote on a wide variety of themes, including religion, psychology, and literature. He is remembered for his philosophy, which was influential in the development of 20th century existentialism.

Format:Paperback
This (Great Ideas) edition is described on the copyright page as a 'selection'? Just how much of an abridgement is it?

Great Book, Bad translation
3 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
A wonderful book about seeing yourself clearly and your relationship to God clearly. A philosophy of authenticity and true seeing.
... but this translation is lousy. Too wordy and the publisher has too many typos which makes me think the whole book is poorly done. I recommend the Penguin Classics version for better readability.

A friend recommended this book to me and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised. The Sickness Unto Death is a great read.

A masterful examination of the human condition of despair
13 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
Kierkegaard is one of the all-time greatest philosophers, and this book is his masterful examination of the human condition of despair that will really resonate with those who have struggled with depression. While not light reading, this book is a great read with many "nuggets of truth" throughout.
