This is an automatically translated description
The essay you are reading here and now is dedicated to the philosopher who is now called the forerunner of existentialism: Søren Kierkegaard, who lived a short life, but managed to write a lot in the less than 43 years of his life. His most resonant books are: "Either/or"; "Pleasure and Duty"; "The Most Unfortunate"; "Fear and Trembling"; "Diary of a Wanderer"; "The Gospel of Suffering"; "The Concept of Fear"; "Sickness to Death."
We would like to focus your attention on the last of the above books. Not because it is "better" or "worse" than the others - here we may differ in our preferences - but because it is in this book, in our opinion, that the key to understanding that extremely painful state of the human soul called despondency is laid.
For our part, we have tried, based on what Kierkegaard wrote about despondency, to formulate and present to your strict judgement our vision of how this terrible state can and should be overcome if it befalls you at some critical moment in your life - God forbid, as they say -.
