“My life is absolutely meaningless. When I consider the different periods into which it falls, it seems like the word in the dictionary, which means in the first place a string, in the second, a daughter-in-law. The only thing lacking is that the word should mean in the third place a camel, in the fourth, a dust-brush.”

Kierkegaard left the task of discovering the meaning of his works to the reader, because "the task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted". Scholars have interpreted Kierkegaard variously as an existentialist, neo-orthodoxist, postmodernist, humanist, and individualist.
Crossing the boundaries of philosophy, theology, psychology, and literature, he is an influential figure in contemporary thought.
