Summary
Soren Kierkegaard: Either-or
Kierkegaard's biography is determined by several relationships and events that had far-reaching consequences both in the philosopher's life and in his work. In the first place is the relationship with his father, a successful and happy merchant, but also an extremely melancholic and weak man, who was torn by indescribable feelings of guilt all his life. Growing up in a relatively rich, but gloomy home and in a close spiritual and psychological relationship with a puritanical religious father, Kierkegaard was captivated by the meaning of Christianity from an early age, so from 1830 he studied theology and philosophy to pass the state exam in theology in 1840 and obtain a master's degree by working on the concept of irony.
