Abstract

In an era where humans have lost themselves between grand philosophical systems and social ideologies, a voice emerged from nineteenth-century Denmark calling humanity to return to the individual and their own personal experience. Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), the Danish philosopher, through his sharp critique of Hegel and rationalist systems ,I aid the foundation for what would later be called “existential philosophy”. While Hegel attempted to explain history and existence within a universal logical system, Kierkegaard insisted that truth is found in the life of the individual and their existential choice, not in abstract concepts. The human is a unique individual and cannot be placed within a general system. Kierkegaard emphasized the concepts of individuality, freedom, choice, anxiety, and personal faith. Humans must live and create themselves through their free choices, even if this means confronting anxiety and disquiet. Kierkegaard’s perspective on the issue of slf-expression and self-knowledge is fundamentally connected to how the individual finds themselves in a world full of contradiction and conflict. Philosophy must focus on the “how” of existence, not the “what” of existence. To this end, he discusses the stages of life, each possessing its own characteristics and particular problems. The aim of this reasearch is to understand how Kierkegaard's thought influenced existential philosophy, which is known as the father of existential philosophy and had a profound influence on contemporary philosophical thought. The study seeks to show how Kierkegaard's thoughts on the individual, freedom and responsibility are still relevant to contemporary human problems in an age where people are lost among many choices and search for the meaning of life
