The Sickness Unto Death is famed for the depth and acuity of its modernpsychological insights. Writing under the pseudonym AntiClimacus Kierkegaardexplores the concept of despair alerting readers to the diversity of ways inwhich they may be described as living in this state of bleak abandonment including some that may seem just the opposite and offering a muchdiscussedformula for the eradication of despair. This late work was hugely influentialupon twentiethcentury philosophers including Jaspers Sartre and Camus and itcan be regarded as one of the key works of theistic existentialist thought. «
