What does it mean to become a self when no theory can live for you? This original English introduction follows Søren Kierkegaard's literary voices and signed works through aesthetic life, ethical choice, anxiety, despair, Abraham, inwardness, neighbor-love, and criticism of the established church. Eighteen chapters distinguish the positions of Johannes de Silentio, Johannes Climacus, Vigilius Haufniensis, Anti-Climacus, and other personae from Kierkegaard's own signed writing. Invented contemporary examples, a glossary, annotated sources, and a chapter-to-source map support critical reading. A guide to Kierkegaard, not a book by him.
