Kierkegaard: The Individual in the Global Society
5 – 30 July 2010
University of Copenhagen
A study of the works of Copenhagen’s most radical author, the ‘father of existentialism,’ Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855). Kierkegaard’s entire authorship is centred around the existential project that every human being is confronted with: to become oneself and none other than oneself. And as he sees it, becoming oneself does not happen passively and is never achieved once and for all, but rather requires constant effort. He thus often describes this project as one of taking responsibility for “choosing,” “gaining,” or “finding oneself.”
