Soren Kierkegaard is said to be the originator of existentialism, which is a philosophy that emphasizes the human experience. He was born in 1813 and died in 1855, which means that he was a pretty poweful man to become an originator of a philosphical idea in such a short lifetime. Basically he beleived that there was no meaning to the universe other than that of the human experience, so it is safe to say that in this lifetime he would have been a pretty hands on teacher, defintely not a preacher! Human life exists but that we are only what we make ourselves. The idea of existentialism showed that every individual is the subject of his or her own reality, and no two realities are the same. The importance of individual creativity and personal choice can not be stressed enough when speaking of this philosphy and philospher. I guess you could say that this man learned by experience and if all children where taught to think before doing and learnign from their actions this world would by far be abetter place to learn and grow.
