One of the most remarkable philosophical works of the nineteenth century, "The Sickness Unto Death" is famous for its depth and sharpness of modern psychological approaches. Written under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, Kierkegaard explores the concept of "despair," warning readers about the various ways individuals may be described as alive in this state of dark abandonment - including some that may seem quite the opposite - and offering a much-discussed formula for eliminating despair. With his penetrating analysis of the self, this final work of Kierkegaard had a significant influence on twentieth-century philosophers, including Karl Jaspers, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus. "The Sickness Unto Death" can be considered one of the central works of theistic existential thought - a brilliant and revealing response to a man's struggle to fill the spiritual void.
