so-soNot quite what it says on the tin as it is very focussed on how Kierkegaard disagreed with Hegel. I found it very heavy going till I read the relevant chapter of “Sophie's World“ to orientate me.

#PoetryMatters Day 1: #Torment - not exactly a poem but alludes to poets, so tangentially related. 🤣😅😂
pickI enjoyed this artistic biography of Denmark‘s most famous philosopher. Simon Vance‘s narration is particularly engaging. S.K. was a prolific writer about everything but focused on theology and individualism. He was also a weird, sad guy who probably wouldn‘t have written anything if therapy was widely available in the 1840s. Kierkegaard‘s hair style is 5 stars though! 🤩
pickAn ever relevant essay. Highly recommend to any fellow pessimist who has a distaste for Hegel.
The greatest hazard of all, losing one‘s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.
