b. 1813
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard
First Christian Existentialist
1813 to 1855, aged 42
For Kierkegaard, meaning is forged inwardly through personal commitment. Truth is something you live, not just understand. Friedrich Nietzsche, by contrast, looks outward and forward, urging self-creation through strength, values, and becoming. Kierkegaard asks you to stand behind a choice despite uncertainty; Nietzsche asks you to overcome inherited meanings and create new ones. One emphasizes inward responsibility, the other outward transformation.
