Abstract

The various works of Soren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous authorship deal prominently with what he variously terms as the "stages" or "spheres" of existence. Kierkegaard's portrayal of the distinct spheres of existence is often rich with philosophical profundity and psychological insight. Moreover, a fundamental grasp of how he wiews the various stages is essential to an adequate understanding of Kierkegaard's thought and authorship. The different spheres of human existence are not, however, easily delineated, nor was it Kierkegaard's purpose to present a systematic description which, when its superiority to the Hegelian system was recognized, would then supplant that system.
