Soren Kierkegaard

By: Mito Mendivil

Kierkegaard didn’t have a very fun life that was not full of many events. He hardy ever went away from his hometown of Copenhagen and only went outside of the country 5 times. Those five times were four times to Berlin and one time to Sweden. He was born on May 5,1813. He attended the university of Copenhagen in 1830. His parents passed four years apart and in the 1830’s. Some of his published works had something to do with his mother even though it was hard to tell it was in there. One thing that Kierkegaard had inherited from his dad was his sense of guilt and anxiety and his pietistic emphasis on the dour aspects of Christian faith. He was known as the father of existentialism.
