Summary: the lonely danish individual is a thinker for all times...
Comment: look past his ferocity for being a christian, if you are not one yourself, or bask in the Lord for "whom is unchangeable and for nothing is changed," but any way you look at it, kierkegaard was one hell of a joker and a wonderful chronicler of his and, for the most part, our time.
purity of heart is a great introduction to kierkegaard's writing and thought. here is k's rampant mistrust of the mob, his approach to individuality, his thoughts on dualmindedness, and, of course, the melancholic tone but lyrical brilliance of a lonely danish philosopher who coined 'existentialism' and who probably wasn't unlike the little wormy one we got today, woody a.

Summary: A Cut to the Heart
Comment: Kierkegaard's Purity of Heart is one of his most accessible works. Like in Sickness Unto Death, Purity of Heart cuts to the heart. Through irony, dialogue, and parable, Soren slices through the masks and fascades we construct that delude us into thinking that all is well with our soul. With the skill and precision of a surgeon's hand, Kierkegaard opens up the true condition of our motivations in life and faith. Kierkegaard is not afraid to stare in the face the dark side of our humanity. In Purity of Heart we see that only through this brutal honesty can we become our true selves and find healing. Kierkegaard boldly asserts that only by joining with providence and the Great Physician's hand can we "will one thing"--the good. The good is all that is true, eternal, and authentic. The good is all that comes from God. Scant writers this day in age know the human condition more intimately than the great Danish theologian/philosopher. Come and join Kierkegaard and take the leap of faith!

Summary: Meditations on Confessing Real Existence
Comment: This work aims at preparing the reader to enter into the "office of confession," and probes deeply into the inner motivations for choosing to become an authentic self. Considered a classic of devotional literature, it sometimes reads obscurely (e.g., the "Good" is never really defined), yet at other times is radiantly clear (e.g., on the call to live self-consciously and with responsibility). As with all of SK's non-psuedonymous works, "Purity of Heart" makes for worthy reading which will provoke and challenge you.
