Either/Or, Part I by Soren Kierkegaard

A Fragment of Life

A series of essays, aphorisms and fictional fragments voiced by an urbane aesthete who champions immediate pleasure, irony and the artful cultivation of taste — including a notorious seducer’s diary — that examines music, passion, boredom, choice and the strategies of self-fashioning; the portrait of aesthetic living is vivid and seductive but also revealing of its contradictions, despair and inability to sustain meaning, thereby posing an implicit challenge to a more committed ethical life.
