“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use,” wrote Soren Kierkegaard, 19^th Century Danish philosopher. This week we look at his tome “Either/Or” and the three stages of life plotted out in this work as well as “Fear and Trembling” with award-winning documentary maker, Boon Kia Meng.
