Either-Or

In my Kierkegaard studies I have recently gone back through books of his I have read to re-read the introductions in the light of having some grasp of the material. One book I think I will have to revisit, the first book of kierkegaards I ever picked up (but was woefully unprepared for at the time) is Either/Or. Kierkegaard, or his pseudonymous writer, rather, presents two ways of being, the aesthetic and the ethical. Indeed, what a challenge we are confronted with, what choices. And no one distills it down like Kierkegaard, with his intense inwardness and appreciation for subjective experience.
