Søren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher.
He is usually categorized as a Christian Existentialist.
In this video created by the Academy of Ideas, the ideas of Kierkegaard and described in a condensed format. Given that Kierkegaard wrote voluminously, it is a pleasure to see his ideas so succinctly expressed. He often wrote using pseudonyms and created characters within his writing to express his philosophy. Caricatures would be used to get people to question their own beliefs and begin to think for themselves.
The Academy of Ideas has done an excellent job of summarising the philosophies of a number of great thinkers. If you enjoy philosophy, I would highly recommend you subscribe and watch their videos.
