Product Description
The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition For Upbuilding And Awakening (Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 19)
- Soren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition For Upbuilding And Awakening, paperback
<p>A companion piece to <i>The Concept of Anxiety</i>, this work continues S¸ren Kierkegaard's radical and comprehensive analysis of human nature in a spectrum of possibilities of existence. Present here is a remarkable combination of the insight of the poet and the contemplation of the philosopher.</p><br><br><p> In <i>The Sickness unto Death</i>, Kierkegaard moves beyond anxiety on the mental-emotional level to the spiritual level, where--in contact with the eternal--anxiety becomes despair. Both anxiety and despair reflect the misrelation that arises in the self when the elements of the synthesis--the infinite and the finite--do not come into proper relation to each other. Despair is a deeper expression for anxiety and is a mark of the eternal, which is intended to penetrate temporal existence.</p>
