Caesar

Soren Kierkegaard cites the Biblical Caesar to elaborate on the despair which desolate individuals portray.

Physicians

Physicians confirm the ‘universality of sickness’; their validation is an indicator of the ubiquity of despair.

Plato

Plato offers philosophical discernments concerning the reality of ‘Possibility/ Necessity’ and their part in despair.
