Abstract

The author analyzes the problem of salvation in the former of the two Kierkegaard’s writings published under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus. This was “Sickness Unto Death” (1849). The author also draws attention to the earlier 1846–49 writings of the “Corsair affair” period where Kierkegaard pioneered the problem of publicity and mass society. A need to realize an up-to-date vision of salvation which Kierkegaard felt against the utterly polemic background set up by the “Corsair affair” resulted in modern ideas in theology
