Mythic Mind

20 - The Forms of Despair


Listen Later

“The greatest hazard of all, losing the self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.” - Kierkegaard, The Sickness unto Death In this episode, coming to you about 3 months late, I continue our study of The Sickness unto Death with a survey of the forms that despair can seem to take. Through personal experience, people we know, and stories we've heard, it seems that there are many ways we might lose ourselves. In the end, however, Kierkegaard tells us that there is only one, which we must avoid at all cost if we are to be authentic human individuals.
