You have read Kierkegaard by now, right anon?

Not a single page. I have watched the School of Life video on him once paying half attention. He's the "just take a leap of faith, bro" guy. Sounds pretty dumb. I'll stick with being an atheist.

My hat is off to you, that's one of the most maddening texts I've ever encountered. What are your thoughts on it so far? It seemed to me like a more religious-oriented and somehow more convoluted version of Being and Time when I read it.

Fear and Trembling and Sickness unto Death, but my copy of Either/Or got infested with bed bugs while I was in the homeless shelter and had to be thrown out.

Just started it after finishing Philosophical Fragments, but so far it’s reasonably straightforward (for Kierkegaard). The context is essential though, you certainly can’t read it without reading Fragments first.

My only motivation to do so is that Adorno wrote some sort of commentary on him which I'd like to have context for, and I don't even like Adorno but there it is. I wish only to multiply my hatreds and dislikes of literary figures, generally religious persons and Marxists, by reading and understanding and being able to comment knowledgeably upon their writings-overcoming through mastery through reading without assent to any. I care not for fiction, but the world of non-fiction is a rot that I am assured will remain such once I've checked it. "Oh no anxiety,", or words to that effect. "Oh no fear and trembling these are quite special emotions (so therefore jesus/the Absolute?), or something along those lines. And even if not...

Likewise there's a still-life painting in the local museum depicting Pacsal's Penseés (did I do the accent right? I can't be fucked to check). It teases me to read another thing that I will reject, the better once I've understood the content of its ideas, as I previously rejected Leibniz.
