Solo Book Club: The Present Age

from Solo – The Single Person’s Guide to a Remarkable Life

Peter McGraw is joined by David Jitendranath for a Solo Book Club episode on Søren Kierkegaard’s The Present Age. They discuss why this slim, difficult book feels eerily modern: a culture of reflection without action, irony without commitment, resentment disguised as equality, and “leveling” as the force that pulls down anyone who dares to stand apart. A conversation about aliveness, deep water, and what it costs to act as an individual in an age of endless commentary.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://www.petermcgraw.org/solo/
