Description:

This first Turkish edition of The Sickness Unto Death (Ölümcül Hastalık Umutsuzluk) by Søren Kierkegaard was published by Doğu Batı Yayınları in 2004. Printed in Turkish, this first edition was limited to 2,500 copies. The work is widely regarded as one of Kierkegaard's most profound philosophical and theological writings, exploring the nature of the self, despair, and the human relationship with God.

Written under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, the book argues that despair is the fundamental spiritual condition of human existence. Kierkegaard examines different forms of despair arising from the individual's failure to become their authentic self, ultimately presenting faith as the path to overcoming existential anguish. Blending existential philosophy with Christian thought, the work laid the foundations of modern existentialism and profoundly influenced twentieth-century philosophy, psychology, and theology.

Themes such as despair, faith, identity, freedom, selfhood, and existential anxiety appear throughout the work. Combining philosophical depth with psychological insight, The Sickness Unto Death remains one of the essential classics of existential philosophy.
