Research
The central subject of this dissertation is the influence of Fichte’s theory of self-consciousness on Søren Kierkegaard's philosophical notion of the self in the way Kierkegaard describes the self in his philosophy in the writing 'The Sickness unto Death' (1849). The main question this dissertation seeks to answer is: how, if at all, is Kierkegaard’s notion of the self, primarily in 'The Sickness unto Death', influenced by Fichte’s theory of self-consciousness?
