The Sickness Unto Death: A New Translation by Søren (Soren) Kierkegaard
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 MB
Overview: The first new translation of Kierkegaard’s masterwork in a generation brings to life this impassioned investigation of the self.
The “greatest psychologist of the spirit since St. Augustine” (Gregory R. Beabout), Soren Kierkegaard is renowned for such richly imagined philosophical works as Fear and Trembling and The Concept of Anxiety. Yet only The Sickness unto Death condenses his most essential ideas―on aesthetics, ethics, and religion―into a single volume.
First published in 1849 under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, The Sickness unto Death is as demanding as it is concise, posing fundamental yet complicated questions about human nature and the self. Beginning with the biblical story of Lazarus, whom Jesus miraculously raised from the dead, The Sickness unto Death identifies the titular “sickness” as “despair,” a state worse than death because it is “unto” death. As Kierkegaard demonstrates, despair―or, in Christian categories, “sin”―is a sickness not of the body, but of the spirit, and thus, of the self.
