trilobiter 's review for:

The Sickness unto Death by Alastair Hannay, Søren Kierkegaard

3.0

---

A remarkable effort at making his chosen faith into the most terrifying of all possible realities, and it still counts as pro-Christian. Perhaps the terror comes from being only half-understood. Perhaps it's just the skill of his writing. But what I like best about Kierkegaard is, even when he's writing in character, he's clearly not messing around.

I don't know if I'm really in despair, as Kierkegaard asserts, or if he's really got the insight into why. Telling him so would probably drive him crazy, if I understand the conclusion. I'll just keep thinking.
