Morals of Despair In this paper, drawing from the ideas of the 19th-century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, a self-proclaimed “physician of the soul”, we are going to explore whether conformity and the pursuit of social status and acceptance be a strategy used to hide this despair, not just from others, but from ourselves and what is the most functional and potent antidote to the despair that torments so many in the modern world.
