Søren Kierkegaard's "Either/Or"

Søren Kierkegaard's "Either/Or" explores two fundamental ways of living: the aesthetic, characterized by pursuit of pleasure and personal enjoyment, and the ethical, centered on responsibility, commitment, and moral integrity. The book presents life as a choice between these modes, emphasizing that true fulfillment requires moving beyond superficial pleasures to adopt a responsible, authentic existence. Kierkegaard encourages individuals to reflect on their choices, understanding that genuine meaning emerges when one consciously commits to ethical values, thereby transforming transient experiences into a purposeful life.
