Søren Kierkegaard
1813 – 1855 · Danish Philosopher, Theologian
Kierkegaard broke off his engagement to the woman he loved because he believed his calling demanded total devotion, then spent the rest of his short life writing about anxiety, despair, and the leap of faith. He is considered the father of existentialism.
