Anyone have any interest in existentialism here? I do, just want to know what a good first book to read on it by Søren Kierkegaard would be. I've been told plenty about him, and read a bit on the web, but with so many books out by a single guy, just wanted to know where I should start.

I find its' strong focus on free will to be intriguing.

Sad You didn't get my joke

.....so anyone ever read The Concept of Anxiety? Is that good to start off with? Cause I just bought it.

It's funny because existentialism doesn't matter anyways

I'm a big fan of Kierkegaard myself and his influences on human psychology.

 

I would suggest starting with an introduction to Kierkegaard type book, then moving on to the Works of Love.

 

This will both be a good introduction and will make you want to read more and more, the Works of Love is highly inspirational.

existence is elsewhere
