Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) — Danish philosopher, theologian, writer, and critic — rightly considered both a forerunner and, at the same time, the founder of European existentialism. In the works included in the proposed collection, Søren Kierkegaard reflects on the meaning of suffering in a person’s life and poses an unexpected ethical question about responsibility—of a person who uncompromisingly asserts the truth of their faith. According to the author’s logic, such a stance may lead one into sin to those who disagree and provoke them into the most terrible crimes. “But then where is virtue?” Kierkegaard asks. And how can one uphold one’s principles without creating new evil?
