His thought moves at the border between philosophy, theology, literature, and psychology, and remains significant for understanding the crises of modern humanity.
In this conversation, Alireza Emtiaz and Masoud Zanjani address the question of what Kierkegaard says and why he should still be read.

For readers interested in the meaning of life, religion, ethics, existential psychology, and existential philosophy, Kierkegaard is a pathbreaking and thought-provoking thinker.
