For better and for worse, society needs religion as we do. Kierkegaard helps some make the leap of faith.

it felt a little like my Philosophy of religion class ~ but I really enjoyed the questions even though I did not always agree with the answer he came to.
Kierkegaard is such a smart person and his work is so deep. it's one you have to read again and again to keep getting the lessons out of it.
NOT light reading, tho :D

I didn't get the opportunity to read the whole text yet. I'm not sure what to accurately rate this book as. I didn't find a lot of the analogies and metaphors particularly interesting or even really introducing new ideas that haven't been covered by other earlier existentialist texts. Nonetheless, some of the messages are still worth thinking about.

it's a good book but i will probably need to reread problem III because it's a tough read. still more digestible than some other writers but definitely necessary to have some familiarity with the framework of german idealism that he's working within (which i have just enough to understand here). still very interesting propositions and paradoxes at play here, especially the individual over the universal, movement, faith as a passion and within a dialectic, teleological suspension of the ethical, etc.

3.5 rounded up. A decent book about the absurdity (and rationality?) or religion. Not an inherently good read but you may constantly find yourself lost in thought —usually relevant to the book—that’s much more interesting…which is the point of books by philosophers.
Title goes so insanely hard.
I understand him, and think I could’ve fixed him.
