Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855)

Existentialism. Surname means graveyard; I wonder if he picked this intentionally?

Ludwig Wittgenstein once stated that Kierkgaard was "by far the most profound thinker of the [nineteenth] century. Kierkegaard was a saint."

"Kierkegaard predicted his posthumous fame, and foresaw that his work would become the subject of intense study and research."
