Kierkegaard, the father of Existentialism, argues that truth is subjectivity. He rejects abstract systems, focusing instead on the individual's "leap of faith." Life consists of three stages: the Aesthetic (pleasure), the Ethical (duty), and the Religious (commitment to God). Faced with "Angst" (dread) and the absurdity of existence, only a personal relationship with the divine offers meaning.
