For his major work "Either/Or" it can seem this way. If you understand his thesis that conscious life is a series of choices. Choice of action is what creates an individual. You choose how you live and exist. He wrote "Either/Or" as a refutation of contemporary logical thought, which he felt robbed the individual of the consequences of choice. He also had a bone to pick with organized religion (mostly Christianity). Along with Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard is one of my favorite philosophers.
