The Giants of Philosophy - Soren KierkegaardThe Giants of Philosophy - Soren Kierkegaard
For Kierkegaard, truth is a subjective reality which we must live, not simply something to consider and discuss. His self-consciousness and self-examination highlight the practical demands of existence, and he opposes the speculative thinking of philosophical idealists (especially Hegel).

Existentialist Thinkers And Ethics

Twentieth-century existential thinkers, critical of traditional, overly rationalistic approaches to ethics, sought to provide a better account of what it means to be human in the world.

Their philosophy has often been dismissed as unsuccessful.
