One section of this work calls for a modern Socrates to teach society how little it actually knows, while earlier it claims Christianity is founded on the "absurd" idea that humans can have an individual relationship with God. It discusses a concept's unconscious form deriving from "ignorance" and its two conscious types deriving from "weakness" and "defiance." Its first section examines a man who believes "Caesar or nothing" and it takes its title from a passage from the Gospel of John about Lazarus. This work claims believing Christians are the only people exempt from the title condition and asserts that religious writing should act as a physician working at man's deathbed. Written under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, for 10 points, name this Kierkegaard work arguing the title affliction is "despair."
