The Sickness Unto Death — Despair and the Modern Self (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores The Sickness Unto Death by Søren Kierkegaard as a systems-level analysis of despair, identity, and selfhood.
Rather than treating despair as an emotional state, the book frames it as a structural imbalance within the self — intensified by modern narratives of autonomy, self-creation, and authenticity.
