Insightful Quotes By Soren Kierkegaard On Fear, Regret, Existentialism And More

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher who restrained his own love and feelings and declared subjectivity to be truth, is now regarded as the father of existentialism, a significant figure in postmodernism, and a key contributor in the field of psychology.

On May 5, 1813, Sren Aabye Kierkegaard was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, into a prosperous family. The youngest of seven kids, he was young. His father, Michael Pedersen Kierkegaard, was a strict religious man who battled depression and guilt, which he inflicted on his kids. Michael Pedersen Kierkegaard was married to his third cousin, Ane Sorensdatter Lund. After falling from a tree as a youngster, Kierkegaard was left handicapped and endured problems from an early age. His father’s despair and obstinate belief that all of his children were cursed to die by the age of 33 had a significant impact on him as well.

Regine Olsen, his life partner and writing muse, had an impact on both his philosophy and work. He first met Regine in 1837 while they were both university students, and the two later were married in 1840, although he was hiding some sinister and private information from Regine. A year later, he made the decision to call off the engagement rather than tell Regine his secret. She wed a different man and vowed never to see Kierkegaard again. In his work “Repetition,” which he published under the alias Constantin Constantinus, he descended into psychoanalysis of the moral and emotional ramifications of breaking off. He was experiencing sadness at the time, which was likely a sort of depression brought on by his own trauma and infirmity. In his writings, Kierkegaard frequently used the term “marriage” to refer to the normative expectations imposed by society.
