ON S0REN AABYE KIERKEGAARD’S AUTHORSHIP AND HIS WORKS

Summary/Abstract: Kierkegaard has been called a philosopher, a theologian, the Father of Existentialism, a literary critic, a psychologist, and a poet. Most of his philosophical works deal with the issues of how one lives as a single individual and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment. His psychological work explores the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices. His thinking was influenced by Socrates and the Socratic Method. Therefore Kierkegaard published some of his works using pseudonyms and for others he signed his own name as author. Pseudonyms were used often in the early 19th century as a means of representing viewpoints other than the author's own. Kierkegaard’s comparatively early and manifold philosophical and theological reception in Germany was one of the decisive factors of expanding his works, his influence, and readership throughout the world.
