/lit/ - Literature

What really is teleological suspension of the ethical?
Why does Carl Schmitt like this so much?
Who is another philosopher who frequently uses this concept except kierkegaard?

Is there a book or paper that deals only with this concept with deep focus?

>Having perfected the art of of forgetting and the art of remembering, one is then in a position to play battledore and shuttlecock with the whole of existence

what did he mean by this?

Kierkegaard. He seems like a person with a good sense of humor. Also I like his thoughts and would like to ask him about things.

Is he worth reading? Where should I start with him?

Books for this vibe?

"Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self?
The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in
the relation [which accounts for it] that the relation relates itself to its
own self; the self is not the relation but [consists in the fact] that the
relation relates itself to its own self. Man is a synthesis of the infinite
and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and
necessity, in short it is a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between
two factors. So regarded, man is not yet a self. " - Sören Kierkegaard - The Sickness Unto Death

Read the Dan

>>14656018
All of Kierkegaard
Start with The Sickness Unto Death, Fear and Trembling, Either/Or and 'The Concept of Anxiety

This is the best philosopher for someone into Theology and has OCD.

Is it bad that suffering brings me joy? Only in suffering can one know beauty, yes? Only in pain can one know joy, on when one sins can one know love? I should start flogging my self maybe, I already have begun to starve my self, for what glory do I do this? To hold in desire, to hold in passion with in my core is true transcendence. Does not the monk who rejects him self pleasures of the flesh burn more lustful at night under a ruff and ragged blanket? Its not the ends of lust but the lust its self, not the ends of desire but desire its self that brings glory to one.
Sorry or the rant.

You don't need 3 books, you just need Kierkegaard.

He who doesn't know humour can't be truly serious, for he cannot tell the place where he is to be serious from the place where he isn't.

No, fuck that

There's nothing empirically wrong with empiricism, however, you can't have ALL the relevant data. There's more to real life than empiricism. Also, sometimes, you gotta do a leap of faith.

Stop enjoying things and then learn to enjoy them again through faith.
