Best books to learn Understanding Kierkegaard, in order
Kierkegaard wrote under pseudonyms and in riddles, so the order matters: a good biography or introduction first to grasp his project, then guided reads of the major works on anxiety, faith, and the self, then the harder texts. Diving into Fear and Trembling without knowing his indirect method is bewildering, so a good path moves from context, to the guided works, to the primary texts read closely.
