Caesar
Soren Kierkegaard cites the Biblical Caesar to elaborate on the despair which desolate individuals portray.
Socrates
Socrates contends that the soul is unequivocally immortal, for it is not emphatically consumed by sin. The immortality of the sin indicates that despair does not have the power to devour an individual’s comprehensive ‘Self.’
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.
