What should one read before attempting to read Kierkegaard?
What should one read before attempting to read Kierkegaard?
Nathan Cox
Kevin Williams
Thew New Testament
Pascal's Pensées
an introductory work on Hegel (not actually Hegel, that's not worth it just to get to Kierk)
Jose Lopez
And what would be some good introductory work on Hegel?
Sebastian Garcia
Howard Kainz: G.W.F. Hegel
or
Kaufmann: Hegel - a reinterpretation
Grayson Hill
I should add that it's not necessary, just helpful. You could easily go into Kierkegaard just having read the bible
Elijah Bailey
Do I need to have watched Don Giovanni to understand Either/Or Part 1?

How about a math or science book so you skip him and his idiotic theistic ramblings and actually learn about reality?

Not to appreciate it or learn something, but if you're doing a scholarly analysis, sure. I'm not the person generally answering your questions, just a passer-by with a love for K-Rock.
Uh-huh. I think, Kierkegaard is actually an indispensable view on the nature of our reality, from a philosophical, theological, and a literary perspective. You seem to promote math and science as an alternative to Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard, near at the opening of Works of Love says:
"If it were true, as conceited shrewdness, proud of not being deceived, thinks, that we should believe nothing that we cannot see by means of our physical eyes, then we first and foremost ought to give up believing in love."
This is one of the corner-stones of existential thought, as well of years of neurocognitive research. The mechanic of a chemical, here oxytocin, may affect but does not define. The mechanic of our perception and that which perceive are mathematical, but the underpinnings of our mind have thus far refused to comply.
>See Skinner's Behaviorist view + Operant Conditioning vs. Chomsky. Yes, Chomsky is meme tier. This argument is essentially why Chomsky became a meme. He removed Skinner's Behaviorist balls.
