He was the one who clearly pursued existential thinking in modern times. Kierkegaard's thought is a lament for the fragility of the existence of every individual in the present. His entire life was a fruit of overcoming the misfortune of individual contingency and the fallacy of generational thinking through Christian faith, walking out of the churchyard with the trembling and unease of his own individual contingency, unknowing of what it is.
