Despair, in this formulation, is not merely an emotional state but a structural condition, manifesting in various forms depending on the individual's awareness of self and dependence. The work proceeds through a series of distinctions, examining unconscious despair, despair of weakness, and despair of defiance, each revealing a different mode of estrangement from authentic selfhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with conceptual rigour and theological depth, the text occupies a central place in Kierkegaard's authorship and in the broader development of existential philosophy. Its influence extends across philosophy, theology, and psychology, where its treatment of identity, anxiety, and inwardness continues to inform modern inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition presents the work in the established English translation by Walter Lowrie, preserving the structure and precision of Kierkegaard's argument for contemporary study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50341755486445,"sku":"9781604593167","price":17.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/QZ0EL8hWhU9781604593167.webp?v=1785163583","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/sickness-unto-death-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
