This third lecture in the 2017-18 Philosophy Speaker Series was presented by Dr. Gordon Marino, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College. Dr. Marino writes: "The Stoic Seneca said, 'He who studies with a philosopher...should daily return home a sounder man, or on the way to becoming sounder.' I have spent much of the last three decades reading and in dialogue with Soren Kierkegaard's texts. I would like to think that this study has at least set me on a path to becoming a sounder human being. In this lecture, I will try to pass along some of the wisdom I have garnered from my long and ongoing walk with Kierkegaard."
