Søren Kierkegaard is one of maybe five best-known Danish persons ever. Who is this philosopher who thoroughly investigated how you become yourself?
This tour is for those who have heard about Kierkegaard in their studies or later on, as well as those who have never heard about him.
We start at the Royal Theater at Kongens Nytorv and walk to the school he attended. We walk to the school he attended, our Ladies' church, and Nytorv 2 (where he was born and raised). Then we walk through "Det kongelige bibliotekshave", where we see Louis Hasselriis' statue of Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, which was made in 1879. We end at Søren Kierkegaard's plans and the black diamond.
You will hear about Kierkegaard in his city of Copenhagen in 1800-1860.
You will also get to know some of Kierkegaard's general ideas about becoming yourself.
I use my Danish humor during the tour :-). And I welcome a lot of questions.
