He doesn't say anything like that. This is simply one way I interpret his philosophy as a whole, especially as taken in its historical context.

In a way, his epistemology was his metaphysics - what is known is identical to what is.

I suppose the deadlocks and dreadlocks just can't get along. :cry:

We have already reconciled this issue over the first twenty pages of excrutiating debate. Simply follow the comments of praxis, creativesoul, and Merk...

Nope. Some types of obstinacy are immovable rocks, unstoppable forces have no effect.

Actually, K's point was to loosely illustrate the line that divides the ethical life/from the religious. It is crucial to consider how he contrasts Ab...

:rofl:

Moral feeling/intuition comes after thought/belief that is moral in kind. This is a part of the process of the internalization of ethical conditioning...

Seems like all they really do is masturbate. :lol:

Couldn't say it better. It is important to address how moral judgement can, in some cases, become a result of irrational intuition/feeling. It is here...

That was a typo, thanks for helping me. :scream: Now it's fixed. Just seeing if you were paying attention.. :grin: This might be the central question....

Thanks for the link. :up:

Mine would be that belief is the power of thought to express infinite possibility. I think that this is something we could possibly discuss as civiliz...

How close is thought to belief?

I do not do "doing". Oops, I did it. :snicker:

I never opine, but sometimes I might on occasion temporarily believe something.

That is definitely a defining moment for K. But, it propelled him to do something very unique, to publish ideas that focus your attention back upon yo...

I also must point out that he regarded all his writing as a thought experiment, so in a way, everything he said was indeed a game.

I know you know that. But I said it anyway. :grin:

He is quite adamant about "seriousness". He speaks of it repeatedly. But his "shit talking" is on par with Nietzsche, so I can get why his seriousness...

To begin, I noticed you referencing the interpretations of others. Reading what another says about Kierkegaard is not the same as reading him directly...

You don't really believe that, do you?

It's a nice qualifier if you wish to discount ideas that potentially adumbrate nasty consequences.

Good God, I hate speculation, but I love to speculate. :kiss:

Big Bang and Gravity are the new gods. Praise be to them. :clap: I couldn't help myself. :grin:

I also think of the relation of the masculine to the feminine. Feminine devotion also imposes a unique qualitative importance on the individual. That ...

Seems to me, gravity has only existed for about 300 years, and the big bang around a century. Get it? :grin:

This is the category of thought our criterion is restricted to. All talk of the "ought" is neither here nor there, but only an assessment. (This point...

Whenever I think of subjectivity, I'm always reminded of the scene in Fight Club: "You don't know where I've been, Lou. You don't know where I've been...

Not much activity during your absence. Just my blabbing. You should be able to catch up quickly.

I know exactly what you are referring to. :cheer:

I'd like to address this ellipsis. The question is, what is the difference between linguistic thought/belief that is non-moral in kind, and linguistic...

Anytime. One more thing you'll find out about K, is that, unlike most other philosophers, his writing is very intense. His books: 'Fear and Trembling'...

What do you mean? I have no agenda . . . and I have I attacked what you say? I had no intention of that. I scored a point? Yay!!! But, extraordinary c...

That the court system is extremely unscientific is obvious. Nevertheless, it regularly permits eye witness accounts that are very unreliable. "Laughab...

Your most welcome my good friend. I don't know how they would respond to attempts to allow testimony of alleged past lives into admission, that is up ...

The courts seem to do it.

Nice! :wink: Now you and me can talk Kierkegaard. :nerd:
