5.0 out of 5 stars A whole new twist to the fall of Adam & Eve!!, 10 Dec 2002
This is Kierkegaards most complex work. In order for you to understand the whole work it is necessary to take your time reading the introduction, which tries to explain in which science hereditary sin should be examined in. If you do not grasp this then it becomes decidedly difficult. It took me around six times to understand it. But it is important because through this Kierkegaard pokes holes in speculative philosophy and particularly Hegels school by revealing the numerous defects which then sets the ground for his investigation.

After you read this you realise that sin has rarely been understood or explained convincingly by philosophers and theologians but Kierkegaard had the ingenious idea of relating it to anxiety. Through anxiety Adam sinned and brought sin into into the world and similarly so does every individual.

I will be truthful I didn't understand everything in this work but I don't think that this is possible as Kierkegaard makes references to so many philosophers and writers that you almost lose track of the argument. Howver, everyone is likely to gain something from this work if only they have patience and try to overlook some of the numerous categories Kierkegaard uses.

It really bothers me sometimes that Kierkegaard isn't afforded the status he deserves. In my opinion this work shows he is as deep a psychologist as Nietzsche and as penetrating as Schopenhauer but he rarely gets as much attention as the afore mentioned in books on western philosophy. He is one of the few philosophers who has made Christianity relevant for the modern world. His critique of Hegel in this work is wonderful as it goes right to the root of his logic and shows that speculative philosophy is not compatible with Christianity.
