It's being hard for me to identify the prosaic characteristics that make his aesthetic works so inimitably palletable and light. There's a vague sense of wit to the sentences he composes without ever evoking humor.
How do I communicate like this?

I've never read it in it's original language so I really can't say much about it.
Just today I was thinking about how clumsy his translations are.

The Penguin Classics translation of Fear and Trembling is very romantic. It's lovely to read.

Assuming you (like me) don't have a background in philosophy, just be diligent to read the intros and footnotes and you'll make it.

I've never read kierkegaard, but Hegel's phenomenology of spirit is a good start

He's definitely big dick energy. In the modern age he would've been a lady killer.

Still can't make much sense of him. Read Fear and Trembling. And something self. Referred to the Self a lot. Guess too small of a brain.

>>15366757
If you wanna really give it a shot read Either/Or first to get a grasp of his thinking. Then do Fear and Trembling and after that The Sicknesses Unto Death.

Kierkegaard changed my life baybee
