The Sickness unto Death by Søren Kierkegaard
5.0

Although our class in Kierkegaard ended on a rather down note with this book, I really enjoyed it. It was especially helpful to have read The Concept of Anxiety before this. The two are paired together excellently in Kierkegaard's description of anxiety and despair. It seems that a thorough understanding of the two (similarities and differences) help paint a good picture of Kierkegaard's human. Overall, I found this work far more accessible than The Concept of Anxiety, which was a relief. I imagine I've only skimmed the surface of what can be gleaned from this work and it is certainly one to which I will return.
