Ep. 57 Kierkegaard On Despair

<p>Surely despair is a state of mind we all experience from time to time, and once through it we never want to experience such a state again. The Danish philosopher and father of Existentialism, Søren Kierkegaard, believed that despair was a universal feature of existence. In other words, none of us are getting out of it, and it&apos;s also not a temporary state, but something we endure all the time. Fear not though, Kierkegaard has an answer. Join us as we explore is text <em>The Sickness Unto Death</em> as well as catch up on things and offer a very patched together recounting of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. <br/><br/><b>Episode Resources</b><br/><br/><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Sickness-Unto-Death-Psychological-Kierkegaards/dp/0691020280/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3HKCBDE3IAK3W&amp;keywords=the+sickness+unto+death&amp;qid=1682981142&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=the+sickness+unto+death%2Cstripbooks%2C118&amp;sr=1-4'><em>The Sickness Unto Death - Søren Kierkegaard</em></a><em><br/></em><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Kierkegaard-Short-Introduction-Patrick-Gardiner/dp/0192802569/ref=sr_1_1?crid=30DC6NEOOPPSC&amp;keywords=kierkegaard+a+very+short+introduction&amp;qid=1682981094&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=kierkegaard+a+ver%2Cstripbooks%2C117&amp;sr=1-1'><em>Kierkegaard, a Very Short Introduction -</em>Patrick Gardiner</a> <em> <br/></em><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Philosopher-Heart-Restless-S%C3%B8ren-Kierkegaard/dp/0374231184'><em>Philosopher of the Heart: The Restless Life of Søren Kierkegaard </em>- Clare Carlisle</a></p><p>Open Door Philosophy on Twitter @d_parsonage or @opendoorphil<br/>Open Door Philosophy on Instagram @opendoorphilosophy<br/>Open Door Philosophy website at opendoorphilosophy.com<br/>Contact us via email at contact@opendoorphilosophy.com </p>
