>Now the issue is: will you be offended or will you believe. If you will believe, then you push through the possibility of offense and accept Christianity on any terms. So it goes; then forget the understanding; then you say: Whether it is a help or a torment, I want only one thing, I want to belong to Christ, I want to be a Christian.

>Faith is a hallmark of Kierkegaardian philosophical and religious thought. Two of his key ideas are based on faith: the leap to faith and the knight of faith. Kierkegaard was a Christian Universalist,[6] writing in his journals, "If others go to Hell, I will go too. But I do not believe that; on the contrary, I believe that all will be saved, myself with them—something which arouses my deepest amazement."

>Then can we say that he's one of the foremost philosophers to define a meaninglessness of reality
That would be Gorgias, surely.

Because of the stupendous prose and the post-Hegelian insight, regardless of his lack of ugly Danish jailbait

>>6117371

why was it so hard for these idiots to let go of the idea of purpose or meaning?

all of human thought has been a huge shitstorm of stupidity

Relating the self to itself in the relation to the self relating to itself the relation is the third term of the self being related to another.

>>6118275

"The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation; the self is not the relation but is the relation's relating itself to itself."
