Danish philosopher and theologian, often considered to be the founder of existentialism. He argued that no system of thought could explain the unique experience of the individual. He defended Christianity, suggesting that God cannot be known through reason, but only through a leap of faith. His chief works are Enten-Eller/Either-Or (1843) and Begrebet Angest/Concept of Dread (1844).
