Too bad our friendly neighborhood Dane proved that "subjectivity is truth."

Yes! I've been waiting for this. I'm also putting the finishing touches on my narcissism essay for the spring edition.
as the original litquarterly.com guy, I will also say that I'm not in a position to maintain a website now. getting married in a few months and I don't have the bandwidth to spare.

There are few things more esthetic.

Continuing--the important thing to remember--and /lit/ always totally ignores this about Kierkegaard--is the ecclesiastical context of his writings. Kierkegaard wasn't a philosopher or theologian writing about Christianity in the abstract; he was very much concerned with the spiritual bankruptcy of the Danish Lutheran Church. The Church largely in practice denied the need of proper praxis in the Christian life; there were no sacrifices, no difficulties required to be Christian. For Kierkegaard this is very unbiblical. Where was the self-denial, the spiritual struggle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and the rulers of the darkness of this world. Kierkegaard published many devotional works under his own name in addition to his largely-pseudonymous philosophical works, you know, and his reverence for Christ and Christianity is clearly apparent in these, motivated by his guiding principle to make faith more difficult that it might be true faith.

I don't think there was any need to label oneself a Christian in 1840s-1850s Copenhagen. What else would you be? Sure, most folks even then were only nominally Christian (see above), but what would Kierkegaard have said--"I'm Christianer than you all"?

t. knight of resignation
You've made the movement of infinite resignation, but not the double movement to regain the finite. You're an Agamemnon, not an Abraham. Accept that you'll never have a hot gf, and then trust that by virtue of the absurd you may yet obtain in the strength of the promises of God.

oh... you know...

I'm not here to appease you, you worthless faggot. Your post is about as shitty a bait as a Peterson thread and communism has consistently failed as an ideology.
