Either/Or (Søren Kierkegaard) - Book Review


Listen Later

Either philosophy makes little sense ...... or I'm just a little stupid.

'Either/Or' by Søren Kierkegaard is a two volume work designed to investigate the life views of the aesthetic (art, beauty, pleasure) & the ethical (commitment, marriage morals). It is written in the unique form of two unknown authors and compiled by a pseudonymous editor. 

I summarised the book as follows. "My overall feeling coming out of this was an exasperated 'why'. There was a lot of words but it didn't feel like much got said. There were some hints of interesting topics but I became bored by the lack of clarity and wasn't even able to finish the book."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
