What works are you reading? I've read Fear and Trembling and I only found the eulogy on Abraham to be very beautiful, but I didn't understand anything else. Then I find Repetition and got disgustingly filtered that I didn't finish it

I used to like Kierkegaard but he basically ruined all my friendships

>my best friend has been going through hard times facing social disconnect and a lack of determination
>he calls me and everyone else to his house
>this fucker staged his own intervention
>Shows us the noose he tied as he sobs and explains in detail his ennui and desperation
>We all work together to explain to him why he shouldn't do it
>he looks at me, his dearest and oldest friend, dead in the eyes
>I screw my courage to the sticking place and meat his gaze
>If you hang yourself you'll regret it, I say
>He cries and finally lets go of the noose, the tension lifts and we all breathe easily
>Mission achieved we all go h-
>I can't, I am compelled to expound the full philosophy
>However, if you do not hang yourself you will also regret it
>shrieks of rage as I get driven out by harridans who don't understand the struggles of the aesthete
>Find out he attempted to OD on sleeping pills that night

Kant wants to know how he can start talking about God. Kant wrote a shitton of stuff but people like to focus on this. OP's pic rel just takes god as given and complicates the matter, and now it boils down to this question

That's even worse than English. There's a huge reason why Kierkegaard wrote his disseration in Danish and not German even though it was the standard.
Kierkegaard in German is best used as toilet paper.

You'll need a decent understanding of the Bible, you can't rely on half remembered school lessons. Kierkegaard is just about popular enough that you could find a reading list for relevant parts if you look online.
He also spends a fair bit of time refuting ideas from Hegel so read a primer on his ideas if you want to understand what's going on there, you don't need to read all of Phenomenology. That said, any three minute popular YouTube video about Hegel is worse than nothing when it comes to understanding his philosophy.
