Kierkegaard: A Brief Overview of the Life and Writings of Soren Kierkegaard

Albert Anderson (Author)

The Danish philosopher wrote for that solitary individual, for every thoughtful reader everywhere, in every time. Kierkegaard indirectly offers three principal options that pervade the human condition. The human condition is a disability healed only by divine intervention based on one's eternal link to God. Albert Anderson provides substance to make the readier sit up and think, yet he does it with language that can easily be handled.
