«La malattia mortale» is the philosophical essay by Søren Kierkegaard, published by Tascabili Economici Newton in paperback (97 pages, in Italian).
Starting from despair as the spirit's «mortal sickness», Kierkegaard examines the forms of loss of self and its overcoming through Christian faith. The work, signed with the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, combines psychological analysis and religious edification to demand individual consciousness in the face of everyday banality.
Work originally published in 1849 as «Sygdommen til Døden»; this edition includes an introduction by Remo Cantoni and a translation by Meta Corssen.
For readers interested in philosophy, theology and Christian psychology, as well as in the classics of nineteenth-century thought.
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard was a Danish Lutheran theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christianity, morality, ethics, psychology, love, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony, and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", highlighting the importance of authenticity, personal choice and commitment, and the duty to love. Kierkegaard prioritized concrete human reality over abstract thinking.
