The Sickness Unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard
This philosophical work explores the concept of despair, which the author sees as a spiritual condition linked to the Christian concept of sin. The author delves into the human struggle to reconcile the self with the ideal self, a process he argues is only possible through a relationship with God. The book also discusses existential dread, self-awareness, and the nature of the human soul, offering a complex and thought-provoking examination of the human condition.
