Soren Aabye Kierkegaard Postmodernist, Existentialst, Thinker and Writer Kierkegaard was a Danish writer, thinker and Christian revivalist. He sought to clear up the confusions about the Christian way of living. In this vain, he discusses the stages of life, what it is to be a self, and move through the stages of human growth. Some of his works are religious in nature. In these he discusses certain aspects of Christianity directly, touching on ethical, historical, and moral issues in the bible. He did not ignore emotional aspects in his writings. Kierkegaard analyzed faith, love and man's relationship to his creator. One of the most famous aspects of Kierkegaard's work is his critique of Hegel's absolute idealism He is often thought of as the father of existentialism, because of his influence upon both Sartre and Camus.

An important aspect of Kierkegaard's philosophy was his distinction between objective truths, which included the correspondence between facts and beliefs, and subjective truths, which include our passionate commitment to ideas and beliefs. For Kierkegaard, religion is characterized not by objective truths but rather subjective truths - religion is made meaningful and relevant by our passionate commitment to what we believe and what we want out of life. Such commitment is self-validating and impervious to external, skeptical critique - it is either something we have or something we lack, but not something which can be justified to others through reference to objective truths.

THE PLOUGH HOME ARTICLES EBOOKS CONTACT Search: Provocations Soren Kierkegaard There are few authors Editor Charles E. Moore has done us an invaluable service by putting together arguably the most accessible and complete Kierkegaard volume to be published in decades. Here is a book for anyone who takes the search for authenticity seriously. Divided into six sections, Provocations contains a little of everything from Kierkegaard's prodigious output, including his wryly humorous attacks on what he calls the "mediocre shell" of conventional Christianity, his brilliantly pithy parables, his amazing insights on the human condition, and his incisive attempts to dig through the fluff of theological jargon and clear a way for the basics: decisiveness, obedience, passion, and recognition of the truth. Provocations is a must for every serious seeker. Indeed, the wealth of sayings and aphorisms collected in its final section is reason enough to download the e-book. 448 pages, 1,452 kb Download PDF

A prolific writer, he inspired Sartre and Camus with his philosophy Because he believed that the individual was responsible for his own actions, Kierkegaard's wish for the " passionate sense of the potential" is a celebration of life and all its beautiful possibilities "As you think, you travel, and as you love , you attract.

Abstract In this dissertation, I argue that Kierkegaard's relationship to the mystical tradition is misconstrued in the secondary literature, and that a fuller account of his attitude toward mysticism reveals a more appreciative stance toward it, which in turn reveals a more mystical religious dialectic. To that end, in the first chapter, I give an account of what is taken to be Kierkegaard's anti-mysticism, and then show that the resources in other signed sources, like Kierkegaard's Journals and Papers , allow us to see that Kierkegaard dislikes what he calls mysticism, but what he calls mysticism is not what contemporary scholarship believes it to be. Accordingly, Kierkegaard himself could be a mystic on some definitions of that term.

28. Søren Kierkegaard, 1813-1855 Danish philosopher and theologian soren kierkegaard was born deformed at Copenhagen, where he read theology, philosophy and literature. http://www.historyguide.org/europe/kierkegaard.html

Søren Kierkegaard, 1813-1855 Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard, progenitor of modern existentialism, was born at Copenhagen, where he read theology (in which he graduated in 1840 but without taking orders), philosophy and literature. Obsessed by some mysterious guilt of his father's, he broke off, after much heart-searching, his engagement to Regine Olsen. Such deliberate, significant choosing of one's future self became the basis of his philosophizing. It is something that has to be lived through and experienced, purely speculative systems of thought such as Hegel's being irrelevant to existence-making choices, because existence on account of its multiplicity can never be incorporated into a system. For Hegel's synthesis, Kierkegaard substituted the disjunction Either/Or (1843), the basis of choice. In Philosophical Fragments (1844) and especially in Concluding Unscientific Postscript (1846), Kierkegaard attacked all philosophical system building and formulated the thesis that subjectivity is truth. He also attacked organized dogmatic Christianity in nine issues of his journal, The Instant , because it failed to make sufficiently clear the absolute moral isolation of the individual, the necessity for really choosing Christ, instead of just adhering to prescribed dogma and ritual.

30. Soren Kierkegaard, Philosopher soren Aabye kierkegaard (the o is written with a slash / through it) is considered the father of the philosophical movement called existentialism. http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/68.html

Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (the "o" is written with a slash "/" through it) is considered the father of the philosophical movement called existentialism. In a Danish film, Ordet ("The Word", based on a play by Kaj Munksee 5 January), one character appears to be insane. Someone asks his brother: "Has he always been like this?" "No, he became this way while at the University." "A love affair?" "No, reading the works of Soren Kierkegaard." Whenever I have seen the film, this line elicited general laughter, since the audience was a student crowd, and most knew enough about Kierkegaard, if only by reputation, to get the point. Often, the details of a philosopher's life are irrelevant to his philosophy. Who cares how many brothers and sisters Aristotle had? It does not affect his concept of Categories. With Kierkegaard, however, the life does matter to the student of the philosophy. Kierkegaard's father, Michael Pederson Kierkegaard, was a farm laborer who led a desperately unhappy life of grinding poverty. One day (I gather while he was still in his teens), full of rage at his lot, and God's apparent indifference to it, he stood on a hilltop, shook his fists at the sky, and solemnly cursed God. Soon after, by a series of strokes of remarkable good fortune, he prospered, and ended a long life by dying a rich man. However, he carried a tremendous burden of guilt for his cursing, and his life was not happy, for his wife and five of his seven children died within a space of two years, and he felt that God was punishing him.

32. Soren Kierkegaard - A Little Introduction By means of a few broad pencilsketches, behold, I present Sören kierkegaard, Danish philosopher-theologian-poet, and cartographer of the mind. http://www.kdkragen.com/sk/

A Little Introduction I. Without some invention on the part of the inquirer, one does not find in the works of Kierkegaard an all-inclusive exposition on or a systematic construction of any of the subjects above mentioned. To a great extent Kierkegaard’s works present a kind of collage of the qualifications of existence in an appeal to the world, or in his own words, to "The masses": that is really the aim of my polemic; and I learnt that from Socrates. I wish to make people aware, so that they do not squander and dissipate their lives. (1847) The Journals of Kierkegaard , Alexander Dru, ed., New York, 1959, p. 118.] And concerning his massive output of writings and harangues against the mediocre, the comfortable, the dispassionate religion of his day, Kierkegaard insisted that After my death no one will find among my papers a single explanation as to what really filled my life (that is my consolation); no one will find the words that explain everything and which often made what the world would call a bagatelle [or trifle] into an event of tremendous importance to me, and what I look upon as something insignificant when I take away the secret gloss which explains all. (1842) [ Journals , p. 85.]

The exceptionally uncheerful disposition Kierkegaard held to the world (not without reason after a broken off engagement and a campaign against him in the Copenhagen press) has sometimes obscured the affirming and sympathetic nature of his ideas. Opposed to the dominant Hegelianism of his day, which deemed individuals to be of little consequence within the grand dialectic of history, Kierkegaard placed the individual at the centre of his philosophy. He believed that man exists in isolation relating only to God and that an authentic individual must sometimes stand alone against the crowd. Furthermore, because God is essentially unknowable then religion requires a leap of faith out of the anxiety of utter freedom. These ideas came to be hugely influential on the existentialism of Sartre, De Beauvoir and Camus but Kierkegaard hated being called an existentialist.

Willed Faith and Belief an essay on Kierkegaard CHRISTINE JEWELL Department of Philosophy, University of Waterloo 1. Introduction Can we will to believe what we choose? Are there times when we should at least try to believe in something? If it were easy to manipulate our own beliefs, low self-esteem would vanish, the divorce rate would decline, and over-consumption would disappear with the reminder: "I already have enough stuff." Yet there is something suspect about willed beliefs. Perhaps it is not ethically responsible to change beliefs without regard for the truth of the matter. And the epistemological coherence of the notion is questionable. Perhaps belief states are just not the kind of things that are under the influence of our will - analogous to the fact that we cannot decide to perceive blueness when looking at a red apple. This is an issue that has attracted some interest in the course of the history of thought. In this paper I will be looking into the views of a contemporary author who sees the relationship of willing to belief as an issue recurring thoughout the history of philosophy. In his book Religious Belief and the Will , Louis Pojman identifies Soren Kierkegaard as a direct prescriptive volitionalist, i.e. a thinker who holds that beliefs can and ought to be (at least in some circumstances) directly willed.

In 1840 he became engaged to Regine Olsen, a woman he had known since he had first moved away from home. He broke the engagement soon thereafter, however, believing that domestic responsibility would hinder him in his philosophical calling. He entered into a life of seclusion, writing and publishing constantly for the next ten years. In 1840 Kierkegaard completed his doctoral dissertation entitled Om Begrebet Ironi The Concept of Irony ). Kierkegaard's first major book was this dissertation, published in 1841. This, along with many of his other books, was in conflict with Hegelianism, the dominant German philosophy of the time. Contrary to Hegel, Kierkegaard believed in personal immortality, and that human life cannot be rationalized in the way that Hegel's system would understand it. Kierkegaard argued that belief in God is a free act of faith, not a solution to a theoretical problem.

Home Søren Kierkegaard and Assistens Kirkegård In the middle of Copenhagen, in the area called Northbridge (Nørrebro), you find a church yard called Assistens Kirkegård. This used to be the main church yard for Copenhageners in the last century, and many known people are buried here. One of the internationally most famous people buried here is the philosopher Søren (or Soren) Aabye Kierkegaard. Søren Kierkegaard was born on May 5, 1813, and died November 11, 1855. Within those 42 years he managed to leave a mark of dimensions, as a philosopher, theologist and author. Søren Kierkegaard considers man's main question what he wants from his life, both through need and opportunity. Frankly, it reminds me of part of the curriculum of my Human Ressource Management classes at Copenhagen Business School. The narrowing tunnel of opportunities available to you, as you make your carreer choices, and Maslow's pyramid which goes from needs that have to be fulfilled at the bottom of the pyramid before you get up to the wants.

Biography S¸ren Kierkegaard was born to an affluent family in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. His father, Michael Pedersen Kierkegaard, was a strongly religious man. Convinced that he had earned God's wrath, he believed that none of his children would live to the age of 34. The sins necessitating this punishment, he believed, included cursing the name of God in his youth, and possibly impregnating Kierkegaard's mother out of wedlock. In fact, his predictions were realized for all but two of his seven children.
