The Unhappiest Person in the World | Soren Kierkegaard’s Either/Or

- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- What type of person would the unhappiest person in the world be? This is a question tackled in Soren Kierkegaard’s Either/Or, specifically the chapter titled, unsurprisingly, The Unhappiest One.
To Kierkegaard, the unhappiest one is someone who is stuck in either the past or the future but is never really present. More specifically, they are stuck regretting a past with missed out experiences. It’s a past that does not exist and is no longer available to them, and yet, they’re obsessed with it. As for the hope for the future, it’s a hope for those experiences that will never come, that should have been experienced already in the past.
Ultimately, the unhappiest one is someone who obsesses over a past he missed out on and a future that will never satisfy that obsession. The practical takeaway is to go out and live life. Take risks, make experiences, and don’t let opportunities slip by. #philosophy #existentialism #kierkegaard

I’m having a really rough time right now. For no reason at all, Reddit started to recommend posts from r/philosophy to me. I never thought anything of it, but on one of my worst nights I was going through my notifications and saw that someone shared a video about the world’s unhappiest person. I figured I might as well give it a watch, and needless to say I’m very impressed. I can’t believe this only has 721 views. Absolutely incredible work man, and I can’t believe an insane coincidence saved me from a terrible place. Have a good one.
Thanks friend, I hope things get better for you.
He did it! He said Among Us!

The pronunciation of Kierkegaard’s name changes every time 😭
I can never get it down lol
Reading either/or in its enteriety right now and these videos are so enlightening for me. Not a lot of people tackle individuals chatpers of the book like you do
Very good summary of the unhappiest one.
My only concern is that Kierkegaard’s larger argument is missed by abstracting this smaller work from its textual context. Either/Or is a pseudonymic work exploring the conflict between various modes of living (mainly, aesthetic and ethical) and while you acknowledge that Kierkegaard was writing under one of his aesthetic pseudonyms, it nevertheless comes across like you’re conflating Kierkegaard’s intentions with that of the pseudonym. To properly understand what Kierkegaard was driving at the aesthetic must be read alongside the ethical.
In the context of Kierkegaard’s larger project, he was trying awaken people to both the infinite importance for how we live as well as how absurdly lost as we are in discerning how we should live. He believed that awakening this paradox was essential for authenticity and faith.
You're right, this video is kinda part of a series of videos I've recently done on Either/Or and I explained the context in the first one, but I should have also put a disclaimer here too.
This might have been the most easy and comprehensible take on Soren Kierkegaard's philosophy. I always tried to educate myself about him and miserably failed to understand what he meant. Cheers!
Just when i needed this video, thanks
Hope it helps Ali

What if expect something unrealistic
Then it won't happen, and you'll end up disappointed
One poor telling what to do but not how. Furehtermore, hope and fear are the same trap.
Every night i recall my happy childhood memories and compare it to the stressful present. Does it make me unhappiest people?
I think if you aren't learning anything from it and it isn't helping you in the present, yes, probably. I think the reason your mind is showing you that is because it's telling you "Look, it is possible to be happier." You can't go back to childhood, but there may be things you can do to change your life in a way that will make you happy again, even if it looks very different. What was the essence of what made you happy as a child? Probably living in the present, to some extent.
@@ddrcrono I probably could be happier because there's a lot of things I always wish as a child come true but the experience is just not the same. As like the world gets darker and boring every time passes, and older i get
The past and the future are both illusions because both exist as projections onto our presents.
You overstate it. It is true our memory is selective, but things do happen in the #past. It is not entirely an illusion.
@@aclark903 Memory is narrative, and all narratives are illusions. Enjoy your stay in Plato’s cave.
@@funkymunky How is memory narrative? #Autobiography is narrative, memory not so much.
@@aclark903 Autobiography is an accomplice to memory, offering endless prompts on which to hang life narratives - less charitably: mythologies, fictions, or lies. In other words: memory is a construct that is replayed again and again until it gains saliency and longevity in the mind. Ultimately, it’s an illusion entertained for meaning-making purposes.
@@funkymunky You're too severe. My ex-girlfriend is not an illusion. She exists.
Wittgenstein said the eternal belongs to those who live in the present...
Dope!
Thanks!

i like this and i like you
If the unhappiest person is actually a group, or a class, then it is obvious that this group is a political party
I would say that, with current political parties at least, the traits that Kierkegaard talk about can apply to anyone in any political party.
