He's not an existentialist according to the current definition of the word. In any case, I don't think he believed that "existence precedes essence".

He inspired it by focusing his philosophy on the single individual and his experience of being, of existing in the world. He provided concepts relevant to later existentialism (and philosophy in general really), in addition to influencing theology, psychology and litterature in significant ways.

Not only is he a very interesting thinker in his own right, he's arguably the most beautiful writer in the history of western philosophy.

Why are you not reading him right now you pleb?

Everyone is, except a few STEMlords.

Love the Kierkegaard threads in recent times.
Great guy!

He was not a christian. He was a meta-christian.

You can label him [anything]-Christian and that's still Christian, contrarian.

>>9121813
I can't think of too many Western philosophical movements not having a Christian founder after the 1st Century.

That video was shit.

Theres a lengthy comment on it that thoroughly destroyed TSOL version of Kierkegaard. They tried to respond but it didn't go well, so they ended deleting the response after.

Is it bad because it's not easy to understand Kierkegaard unless you're Christian? I doubt anyone involved in this video is.

>>9122253
iirc it doesn't even mention christianity

>>9121955
I'm a STEM student AND a Christian.

>>9122128
He was absolutely a Christian.

You kids and your label-making.
