The Sickness Unto Death book by Søren Kierkegaard

The Sickness Unto Death by Søren Kierkegaard is a foundational work of existential philosophy that explores despair, identity, and the human condition.

Kierkegaard defines “the sickness unto death” as despair—not a physical illness, but a spiritual condition that arises when a person is not fully aligned with their true self. He explains that despair can take many forms, such as refusing to be oneself, trying to become someone one is not, or ignoring one’s deeper spiritual nature.

The book argues that true selfhood is found through a relationship with the divine and an honest confrontation with one’s inner contradictions. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
