Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling and the Sickness Unto Death.

I didn't know anything about him and am struggling with the work a lot. It's all about faith so far and as an athiest a lot of it I don't follow at all, but I'm trying to finish it to get as clear as possible an understanding of the preposition.

There's a line in here that says: "I believe also that I understand it (Hegel) tolerably well, but when in spite of the trouble I have taken there are certain passages I cannot understand, I am foolhardy enough to think that he himself (Hegel) has not been quite clear."

This is so far been the most relatable of all the sentences in the book.
