live your life in the refuge of mild insanity so you don't have to think clearly about reality

>>13127268
This. Embrace total pseudery.

>>13127256
Why not both?

ethics=aesthetics though

>living life aesthetically
welcome to despair
>living life ethically
welcome to the reality of sin
>living life religiously
"Only in an infinite relationship with God could the doubt be calmed; only in an infinitely free relationship with God could his cares be turned to joy. He is in an infinite relationship with God when he acknowledges that God is always right; he is in an infinitely free relationship with God when he acknowledges that he is always wrong."

ethically i guess

Religiously

>>13127256

aesthetically easy choice

I'd rather be a slave to something I think I can feel over something I'm told to feel by others

ironically enough, i only started reading kierkegaard because he's pretty and has a nice sounding name

>>13127390
You aren't exactly making a convincing case to the contrary.

>>13127256
I don't think is even possible to choose the ethical life in the current era.

>>13127256
Phenomenally

>>13128782
It is, except the ethics are upside down. The essence is still the same since Kierkegaard's time, and so when you read his Two Ages it feels like it could have been written today.

Religiously

>>13127342
How do I go back to being a normie?

>>13127256
Like the lilies and the birds my friends. The lilies and birds.

>>13127256
i choose.
At every door with the correct password

I would not worship a Kings Log. Men have really sunk to a state below the swine.

>reality of sin

>>13127553
Well said.

>>13127256
I can't afford to think about idle stuff like that.

>>13130608
you shouldn't, wagies aren't even living

>>13127256
Ethically.
Aesthetics are for fags.

aesthethically

>>13127256
ethically, easy choice. some of us eventually grow up

>>13130608
But you can afford to make idle posts like this?

>>13127256
You will regret it if you do, you will regret it if you dont.
Suffering until death, but at least he knows it.

I have read The Concept of Anxiety[dread]
Should I read either/or or Fear and Trembling next?
Or one of his other works.

>>13127365
Elite post, I agree wholeheartedly

>>13127553
oh look someone in the thread actually understands the philosopher in question. A rare day!

>>13131614
Fear and Trembling. Either/Or is amazing but I find its most effective when you already have a basis in his work and you can recognize where Kierkegaard is speaking and where A/Vilhelm are speaking.

Currently reading Aut-Aut.

>>13127365
Prove it.
Ethics are made up, so why not?

>>13127256
I don't choose, like he did.

>>13132553
Ethics are discovered, not made up.

Islamically

>>13127256
Being unethical isn't aesthetic.

Vaginally

>Ethics are discovered, not made up.

>>13135373
Muslims can't even follow the rules of Islam.
Only a few non-muslims still believe they do.
Islam is all about pretending to get attention from non-muslims.

>>13135373
>Islamically
By posting on a haram board?

>>13130572
>reality of sin

What did Kierkegaard mean by that?

>>13137412
bump

>>13127256
Aesthetically naturally.

I want to live in ignorance. Any books on how to do this?

>>13138154
You're already there my guy

>>13135571
>>13133379
Agree, this question sounds like "live your life on food or drink?" You cannot really abandon either one...

>>13136459
Imagine, if you will, the smell of that clam.

>>13138154
keep shitposting, learn about philosophy from shitposts, and proudly become a pseud. you'll never be able to truly understand anyone, but you'll be able to explain it at the dinner table and seem pretentious and slightly impressive to everyone who doesn't read.

not choosing is the right thing

>Live your life aesthetically or ethically?
The Beauty=The Good

>>13127553
I'm an atheist, so maybe this will be impossible to understand. But what does it mean in practical terms to "acknowledge that God is always right"? And the same for one's own wrongness? From where can God's will be understood? Can now anything be both ethical and aesthetic, if one thinks it aligns with God's will?

>>13140436

So being a NPC is the right way of living basically?

Is ethics not the beauty of decisions and actions?

>>13141947
99% of the posters in this thread do not understand Kierkegaard or the nature of the question being asked, including >>13140436
