Christianity teaches that the way is to become subjective, to become a subject." While scientists learn about the world by observation, Kierkegaard emphatically denied that observation alone could reveal the inner workings of the world of the spirit. He wrote: "Science and scholarship want to teach that becoming objective is the way.
He wrote Upbuilding Discourses under his own name and dedicated them to the "single individual" who might want to discover the meaning of his works. He explored particularly complex problems from different viewpoints, each under a different pseudonym. Kierkegaard's early work was written using pseudonyms to present distinctive viewpoints interacting in complex dialogue.
His psychological work explored the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices. He was extremely critical of the doctrine and practice of Christianity as a state-controlled religion ( Caesaropapism) like the Church of Denmark. Much of his work deals with Christian love. Kierkegaard's theological work focuses on Christian ethics, the institution of the Church, the differences between purely objective proofs of Christianity, the infinite qualitative distinction between man and God, and the individual's subjective relationship to the God-Man Jesus the Christ, which came through faith. He was against literary critics who defined idealist intellectuals and philosophers of his time, and thought that Swedenborg, Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Schlegel, and Hans Christian Andersen were all "understood" far too quickly by "scholars." Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual," giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment.
He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christianity, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony, and parables. Søren Aabye Kierkegaard ( / ˈ s ɒr ə n ˈ k ɪər k ə ɡ ɑːr d/ SORR-ən KEER-kə-gard, US also /- ɡ ɔːr/ -gor, Danish: ( listen) – 11 November 1855 ) was a Danish theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher.
