On the surface Nietzsche seems like a atheistic reductionist edgelord, but when you dig deeper into his work, you realise his work still leans on metaphysics and is completed with a Spinozian conception of God. Nietzsche hated reductionists almost as much as he hated Christians.

Demons because there's more 'God is not real' shown in actions that leads to the repentance of the man that unintentionally caused them.

>Sickness unto Death is better to read before Fear and Trembling really.
Why? I keep hearing this, I read both, and it seems to me that it is very untrue.
Sickness unto Death lacks in lyricism. However good it is, it's not Kierkegaard at his best.

>> No.11637831

>>11637786
what do you suggest by him then

>> No.11637852

>>11637831
Fear and Trembling. Maybe I didn't make it clear. Christian Discourses are also very good. That said, I didn't read enough of him.

>> No.11637881

>>11637831
Sickness unto Death is a better introduction, then Fear and Trembling. 'Kierkegaard at his best" is just that dudes opinion cause Fear and Trembling has some more fluffy writing in it while Sickness unto Death is the analytical algebra of Despair and not just aesthetic speculation from Johannes de Silentio on 'the knight of faith' abraham.

>> No.11637964

>>11637881
Sickness unto Death has a more analytical style, sure, but Fear and Trembling is by no means less thoughtful. And it's a good introduction to Kierkegaard because it presents the questions and problems he's pondering in a vivid but concise way (say, Either-Or is no less vivid but way less concise). For a person who never read Kierkegaard, Sickness unto Death may feel too analytical, and the points may get lost in the logistics of the dialectics.

Or that may be just because of what I personally find interesting and valuable in Kierkegaard's thoughts. You may call me a pleb and you may even be right, but the technical parts of his thought, those affected by Hegel, seem dated to me, while the points he makes about the spirit, the soul, the morals and such absolutely don't.

>> No.11637977

>>11637964
Personally I read Fear and Trembling and Practice in Christianity and other Kierkegaard stuff before I read Sickness Unto Death and after finishing it wish I had gotten to it first because it really gets down to a lot of the dialectics that are in all his other works.

>> No.11638011

>>11637977
Comes down to the personal preference, I guess.

>> No.11638016

>>11638011
I just think Sickness Unto Death would have helped me better understand a lot of what Kierkegaard was getting at in other works. But this is all dealing with spirituality and the self so it varies sure.

>>11637786
Opie asked for books related to his picture's feel, and The Sickness unto Death is literally that feel. Kierk documents the stages of "tfw god" to "tfw no god" to "tfw no god but I'm ANGRY at god" back to "tfw god." I love Kierk, but Fear and Trembling is so overrated for people who haven't read and internalized Hegel. It's the one book by him (except maybe Concluding Unscientific Postscripts) that you don't want to recommend to a n00b. Both parts of Either/Or are also this feel, except without the first stage.

>I am utterly amazed, utterly enchanted! I have a precursor, and what a precursor! I hardly knew Spinoza: that I should have turned to him just now, was inspired by “instinct.” Not only is his overtendency like mine—namely to make all knowledge the most powerful affect—but in five main points of his doctrine I recognize myself; this most unusual and loneliest thinker is closest to me precisely in these matters: he denies the freedom of the will, teleology, the moral world-order, the unegoistic, and evil. Even though the divergencies are admittedly tremendous, they are due more to the difference in time, culture, and science. In summa: my lonesomeness, which, as on very high mountains, often made it hard for me to breathe and make my blood rush out, is now at least a twosomeness. Strange!

You can read it before Hegel, but unless you're a cat-like reader, I don't think you'll get much from it alone. It would be like reading the Summa without having read a scrap of Aristotle. Either/Or is a great introduction, as is The Sickness unto Death.

The very definition of God is that God cannot know his definitions.

That is what the finite exists for. To be a mirror for the face of God.
