Melancholy and the Critique of Modernity: Soren Kierkegaard's Religious Psychology Book

Melancholy and The Critique of Modernity examines the connections between the emergence of modern society and the experience of melancholy. The idea of "sadness without a cause" has played an important part in human self-understanding throughout the development of Western sociey. But with the emergence of modernity, melancholy has become its most pervasive and significant experience.The affinity between melancholy and modernity is examined through a comprehensive re-examination of the writings of Soren Kierkegaard.
