  Father of existentialism or the Eeyore of philosophy?
  
  Known as the first modern theologian, Søren
  
  Kierkegaard was a prolific writer of the Danish 'golden age'. A philosopher,
  
  poet and social critic, his key concepts of angst, despair, and the
  
  importance of the individual, influenced many 20th-century philosophers and
  
  literature throughout Europe.
  
  Dave Robinson and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic
  
  guide explains what Kierkegaard means by 'anti-philosophy', and tells an
  
  illuminating story of the strange life and ideas of a man tortured by his
  
  attempts to change the very priorities of Western thought.
