Soren aabye kierkegaard (Danish: s? Aabye Kierkegaard, also translated Kierkegaard, Kierkegaard, Kierkegaard, etc. 1865438+May 5, 2003-185565438+1October 1 1) is a Danish philosopher, theologian and writer, and is generally regarded as the father of existentialism. The famous saying "Despair is a dying disease."

Kierkegaard was born in a wealthy family in Copenhagen, the youngest of all brothers and sisters. Kierkegaard's father was a rural farmer in his early years. Later, he started from scratch and became an upstart in the city. He married the daughter of a rich man and became a member of the upper class in Copenhagen. Later, his wife died, Kierkegaard's father married another woman, and in his later years he got his youngest son, soren kierkegaard.

Kierkegaard's father was a devout Christian (all Danes automatically became Lutherans at birth). He didn't have any formal education, but he taught himself diligently. He was very depressed, convinced that his early ungodliness was cursed by God (and most of Kierkegaard's brothers and sisters would not live to be thirty-four years old-that was the age when Jesus was crucified), and he was very strict in his discipline, especially in religious education. Kierkegaard was deeply influenced by his father. On the other hand, Kierkegaard lived a rich life since childhood, but he was sickly and didn't get along well with his brother. Various factors caused Kierkegaard's melancholy character.

From 65438 to 0830, Kierkegaard began to study psychology and philosophy, and began to prepare for a degree in theology the following year. However, in 1834, his religious belief fell into a low tide and his life became decadent, and he didn't recover until 1838. 1840 completed the degree examination, proposed to Regina Olson in the same year, and 184 1 year obtained the master's degree of philosophy equivalent to the doctoral degree of other departments.

184 1 year, Kierkegaard felt that he could not get rid of depression, let alone have a happy marriage, so he finally decided to break off his engagement with Wei Zhenni. This has a far-reaching impact on his later creative career.

Later, he became an active writer and published many different literary and philosophical works under different pseudonyms. Throughout his life, he strongly opposed Hegel's philosophy which was ordered at that time and devoted himself to the reflection of theology.

Kierkegaard died in a hospital in Copenhagen on 1855. On his deathbed, he refused to accept the Eucharist of the Danish National Church and refused to let the church attend its funeral.
