Either/Or – Søren Kierkegaard

Either/Or – Søren Kierkegaard 

Either/Or by Søren Kierkegaard is a profound philosophical masterpiece exploring the tension between two modes of living: the aesthetic life of pleasure, immediacy, and personal desire, and the ethical life rooted in responsibility, commitment, and moral choice. Told through two contrasting voices—the reflective aesthete “A” and the principled Judge Vilhelm—Kierkegaard examines topics ranging from music and theatre to boredom, love, seduction, and the search for meaning. Featuring the famous Seducer’s Diary, the book is a rich, layered interrogation of how one ought to live. A foundational text in existentialism and modern philosophy.
