Søren Kierkegaard is recognized as the pioneering existentialist philosopher, known for his extensive writings on organized religion, Christianity, morality, psychology, and the philosophy of religion. Emphasizing personal choice and commitment, he critiqued state-controlled Christianity and focused on Christian ethics and the individual’s connection with God. Kierkegaard employed pseudonyms to offer varied perspectives and examine intricate issues from multiple angles. His exploration of subjective and objective truths, faith, and existentialism left a lasting impact on philosophy, theology, and Western culture.
