PHILOSOPHY - Soren Kierkegaard

[Psychologist]

Interesting. I heard he strays away from the western Canon and has his own unique metaphysics, which book should I read first?

I haven't heard of that, Planning on reading "Fear and trembling" by him

Kierkegaard is a compelling philosopher, mainly because he used irony and personae to explore his subjects. A more accurate take on Kierkegaard is given by Stephen Evans in his book "Kierkegaard" which discusses Either/Or and Fear and Trembling. Evans is an interesting contemporary interpreter who writes about Kierkegaard in a pedagogical voice. Very concise, easy to understand, and straight to the point. Kierkegaard is not easy to read about when neglecting the primary texts; so in understanding Kierkegaard, and those interested in Kierkegaard, I recommend you read this book.
