Indhold: The course takes a Danish perspective on common existential themes by reading the world famous local philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, in his home town and at his own university. At the same time the course draws on the IARU network by inviting well known specialists from the partner universities as guest lecturers.

The main topic of the course is Søren Kierkegaard’s witty but also deeply earnest exploration of the problem of self identity. Beginning with the breakdown of culture-specific ethnic and religious categories that have traditionally defined the self, the course treats Kierkegaard’s scathing critique of religious culture and politics, his view that religious demands can conflict with seemingly universal ethical duties, and his assertion that the look of the Other is a defining factor in self-identity.

Field Trip
Towards the beginning of the course, students will enjoy a sponsored weekend bike trip to Gilleleje, Tisvilde, Gribskov and Søborg Sø to see some of the sites Kierkegaard incorporates into his authorship. We will read passages from Kierkegaard at the various sites.

The primary aim of the weekend tour is to let the students get to know each other well. Their familiarity with each other beyond the classroom will encourage students to ask questions, and openly discuss and debate Kierkegaard's thoughts.
