Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard here, your reading strategy was defeated by biblical hermeneutics in the 19th century. (Also by that Syphilitic brony).

I say that people should read Kierkegaard in their teens, and then optionally later as well.

There is a lot of existentialism that you relate best with in your teens, the polemic against Hegel is perhaps more difficult to understand, but you'll figure that out later in your life.

Have you read Kierkegaard?

I am not studying yet, but I come to this thread in hope of some help.

Earlier, I thought that I would study biotechnology or some derivation thereof (i.e. like bio chemistry).

I started reading philosophy because of my interest in science, which lead me to Descartes and everything pretty much took off from there.

Now, I want to study philosophy, yet it feels like I only want to study it for the studying process itself. Will I be able to get a job, is it something realistic to study?

I mean, I think it's sort of silly when people study 'communication' or some vague thing off the humanities.

I mentioned it to my physics teacher at a party one time. He told me I would regret it for the rest of my life if i went into philosophy instead of the natural sciences. ;_;

What can I use philosophy for? Will there be jobs for me in 6 years time when I'm done?

If you live a life of regret then you live a life without faith.

God damnit Nietzsche it is simpler just to believe in God even though there's no evidence.

It's not homeworkbut it's still a part of what my close friends of /lit/erary friends are reading at the moment
>>3213703
Just re-read The Republic and Gorgias, I've read them before, were i also read selected parts of all Plato's other works.

It's exactly this, I think searching virtues is the only way to avoid utilitarianism. I used to like utilitarianism, but i always knew there was something flawed within it. Aristotle is the best contender i've come across so far.

Hey /lit/,
joining in late here, but hopefully one or two of you might find correspondence with me worth your while.
I'm a danish guy who spends most of my time studying at the local university and trying to figure out just what the hell is going on. I'm interested in most stuff. From anything from the fundamental question of Being to Soccer. Want to write with a Danish pessimist? Heres your chance. Mostly interested in writing actual letters.
