Summary: Finding God Through Despair
Comment: Soren Kierkegaard is a wonderful philosopher. He understood the universal truth: we are all accountable to God, and our goal is to gain eternal life through this accountability of living for God, which means living for Good (ethics). To discover our "self" in this goal is why we are here, it is our purpose in life.
This (above) is what Kierkegaard talks about in "The Sickness Unto Death" and how we don't come to this understanding except after struggle in this world and despair with our lives. While reading it, you have the feeling of being struck by a sense of profound truth. This is one of Kierkegaard's finest works.

Summary: A life changing experience
Comment: It doesn't often happen that you can feel reading a book changing your world-view. I can remember the first time I read "Sickness Unto Death" and suddenly commercials sounded different. It's a simple Either/or: either you are part of the problem or you are part of the solution. Either you are moving, and, whether you know it or not we are all moving, in one direction or the other. The opposite of "faith" is not "doubt," for "doubt" can a moment within faith. The opposite of "faith" is "despair." Despair is the "Sickness Unto Death," and there is no other real death. All else is temporary, but despair is eternal. The great dialectian draws out and describes the variety and etiology of despair in a language he describes as "algebraic" (that is, spare, formulaic, a prime example is the famous opening paragraph with its comic parody of Hegel (he's pulling your leg at the same time he is deadly serious. That's SK)). You may find this language hard to deal with, but it is worth it to stick with it.
