Søren Kierkegaard (Danish philosopher)
(May 5, 1813 - Nov. 11, 1855)
Kierkegaard’s life has been called uneventful, but it was hardly that. The story of his life is a drama in four overlapping acts, each with its own distinctive crisis or “collision,” as he often referred to these events.
The first collision occurred during his student days: he became estranged both from his father and from the faith in which he had been brought up, and he moved out of the family home.
He broke his engagement with Regine Olsen, thus initiating the second major collision of his life.
