How to FIND Your REAL SELF: SOREN KIERKEGAARD (Existentialism)

In this video, we delve into the life and philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard, a towering figure in existentialism who wrestled with some challenging questions and found his real self at last.

Born in 1813 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Kierkegaard grew up in a strict religious household that deeply influenced his ideas. His personal struggles—marked by a broken engagement, a melancholic disposition, and a complicated relationship with faith—shaped his writings, which remain some of the most profound explorations of human existence. He rejected societal norms, institutionalized religion, and the philosophical systems of his time, such as Hegel’s universalism, instead championing the importance of subjective experience and individual responsibility.

Kierkegaard’s philosophy is built around themes of freedom, authenticity, and faith. He outlined three stages of life—the aesthetic, ethical, and religious—that represent different approaches to finding meaning. His concept of the "leap of faith," exemplified in the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, challenges us to embrace personal responsibility and trust in God, even when it defies reason and ethical norms.

We’ll also explore Kierkegaard’s method of indirect communication, his critiques of "the crowd" and societal conformity, and his lasting influence on figures like Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. Through his profound insights into despair, faith, and the human condition, Kierkegaard laid the groundwork for existentialism, inspiring generations to confront the ultimate questions of life.
