I'll have to see if I can find Repitition--never seen it.
I wouldn't say I dislike Sartre--I really haven't read that much. In fact, would you recommend anything in particular.
I think what interests me most with Kierkegaard is his fascination with self-deception. "To thine own self be true" somehow just doesn't quite do the subject justice. Although sometimes I feel like Kierkegaard has a chip on his shoulder, I think K.'s Christendom makes a pretty good setting for a discussion of self-deception. But I think the fact that he wrote so much about Christianity keeps a lot of people from reading his works.
: Ever read Kierkegaard's Repetition? Interesting presentation of the idea that when you idealize someone, or try to define them in ideal terms, you end up becoming unaligned to the existent person. Or in this case, you poeticise a girl so much you effectively cannot marry her (for the existing person is no longer the person you love). Gotta love Kierkegaard.
: Sorry you didn't like Sartre that much; I've always had a wary enthusiasm for him, but he wasn't wonderfully original. He at least acknowledged the debt he owed Heidegger, but he never admitted how much he owed Kierkegaard.
