Either/Or | Søren Kierkegaard

Either/Or: A Fragment of Life was published by Søren Kierkegaard in 1843, making it his first major work. It was written under the pseudonym Victor Eremita “Victorious Hermit”.
The book expresses the viewpoints of two distinct figures with radically different beliefs - the unknown aesthetic young man of Part One, called simply “A”, and the ethical judge of Part II, which he calls “B”.
The first part "Diapsalmata" contains some of Kierkegaard's most popular lines, such as the "unmovable chess piece", "the tragic clown", and "do it or don't do it, you'll regret it".
Kierkegaard was far more interested in making us think than in giving us answers. We are thus encouraged to decide for ourselves the merits of the various viewpoints presented.

[@MagnumBullets47]

Soren Kierkegaard was a fucking genius.

[@liam9776]

This channel is better than my entire college education.

[@tonibael]

I concur

[@thoughtful1233]

Many channels are better than most educations.

[@nitsugaparodi8521]

Great video. In one of his stories, Edgard Allan Poe said that words had a physical power like that of an impulse in the air. Kierkegaard has shown this with his prose. Being one of the philosophers who most understood and unraveled the human psyche. Exploring faith, ego, despair, and happiness. Giving the human being a complexity that, to this day, continues to amaze us.

[@CatnamedMittens]

There's something about Kierkegaard's writing gives me goosebumps when I read it.

[@PhilosophyToons]

Glad to finally hear you talk about the Diary of the Seducer, great video!

[@enbilerfrainitiald8529]

It is rare to see someone finally use the Danish pronunciation (the correct one) of Kierkegaard!! Excellent video

[@maxspencer6763]

I have this book and I tried to read I understood the diapsalmata but it's seriously difficult book to read and contemplate what he wanna say u have made it easier thanks.

[@WeltgeistYT]

Great video for an awesome work. I remember the time I first read it very fondly.

[@philbricknell5630]

Kierkegaard - I am obliged to offer my thanks to you.I have purchased several of your books.I don't have time now to print more.

[@johnmillar750]

One of the most comprehensible and informative summaries / guides of the work that I've seen. Thank you for all that you do!

[@eadamic17]

I loved this book. It goes all over the place, and almost nothing is left untouched.

[@theloneadventurer9871]

Only video I've ever put a notification on for premiere. Great video mate, hopefully it will motivate me to go and read the copy I have sitting on my shelf.

[@SpenSoar]

Bro. Thank you. I am learning more than I have in years from your channel.

[@shubhankarsingh4065]

Amazing man ! Maybe more videos on Kierkegaard!!!!! Absolutely love your channel.

[@Davlavi]

This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.

[@andrewwebster5913]

Another incredible video! Thank you so much! I'll be reading this book very soon!

[@JackomoSVK]

Another great video, this is the quality content I subscribed for :)

[@danielvermeulen4433]

Well made video, thank you for the effort. I enjoyed it a lot

[@banoushaderi2215]

Man, i am sure it will be LEGENDARY

[@dumbforester]

He was a true philosopher - he lived according to his ideas

[@marmionrd]

A brilliant summary, thank you!

[@rabindrasoni5169]

Your work is commendable 👍👍 I have learnt so much about western philosophy from your videos, have you also thought of making videos on indian philosophy

[@TheJudgeandtheJury]

Great video! Read this book a while back and thought it was great.

[@kevinrombouts3027]

Thank you for this. Kierkegaard is getting me thinking. Very challenging.

[@adinesh7989]

Your voice is so intense man, smooth but very serious and intense.

[@rymond8138]

I always wish that these videos were much longer

[@mugiwara6875]

Thanks man 🙏

[@1LSWilliam]

Truly excellent!

[@satnamo]

He who loves himself becomes great in himself. He who loves others becomes great through his devotion. He who loves god becomes greater than all. All is one because one is all since everything is interbeing and nothing is being in itself because everything is interdependent and interconnected to everything else as demonstrated by the Young's Double Slit experiment, where the observer is inseperable from the observed electrons.

[@kubasniak]

Mumbo jumbo fruitless bs. Did you change since such revelation?

[@0RTH0CHAD]

@@kubasniak sounded like you're the one who do the mumbo jumbo right now lmao

[@eudaimonia9260]

You should do some Vonnegut next! He has a lot of underlining existential philosophy in his books.

[@karmannjopp3529]

Like your work

[@thomasche]

Thank you so much. You are very smart. It’s a difficult book that I had a chance to undesirable thanks to you.

[@lorenz6660]

En mi poca experiencia leyéndolo, lo mejor de Kierkegaard es sentir que te conoce mas que a ti mismo y te desnuda con los cuestionamientos que te plantea. Saludos 😊

[@pawelpawlowin95]

Please make a video about E.A. Poe !

[@Brandon-lb7fv]

It's easier to do "stupid" things to avoid being called "stupid" for not doing "stupid" things. But it gets easier when you give "stupid" a shot and find out yeah....that was "stupid".

[@lovinNBA]

Please do "Stages on Life's Way" next

[@elpeonbigoton8022]

Hello, i have the diary of a seducer as a stand alone book and it has been difficult to read because it makes me feel uncomfortable. The manipulation and the mental tricks are just to much for me. Now I know it’s part of a bigger book. So yeah, it shouldn’t be read as a separate thing

[@roger_isaksson]

When is the charm of a smart and quirky woman ever boring? Good coffee is still good coffee. I believe it is the character of the anima/animus that occasionally filers through the collective subconscious.
