- Peder Ludvig Møller.
“Not much is known about his
private life; his unsympathetic
personality kept most people at
a suitable distance,” wrote Carl
Brosbøll (known as Carit Etlar)
with respect to Møller, who
was also called Kierkegaard’s
demonic doppelgänger. He was
a theological student, but like
Kierkegaard, he passed the time
with various studies, particularly
of aesthetic and philosophical
subjects; he was a fixture in cafés
and was known for his malicious
tongue—and for his insatiable
desire for women. He aroused
universal offense—and certainly
universal envy, as well—by liv-
ing out in real life the sensuality
that others, including Kierke-
gaard, cultivated in so Platonic a
medium as paper.
