<p>Kierkegaard's early work was written under various <a href="/wiki/Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonyms</a> which he used to present distinctive viewpoints and interact with each other in complex dialogue.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span>[</span>10<span>]</span></a></sup> He assigned pseudonyms to explore particular viewpoints in-depth, which required several books in some instances, while Kierkegaard, openly or under another pseudonym, critiqued that position. He wrote many <i>Upbuilding Discourses</i> under his own name and dedicated them to the "single individual" who might want to discover the meaning of his works. Notably, he wrote: "<a href="/wiki/Science" title="Science">Science</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scholarly_method" title="Scholarly method">scholarship</a> want to teach that becoming objective is the way. Christianity teaches that the way is to become subjective, to become a subject."<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span>[</span>11<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>The scientist can learn about the world by observation but Kierkegaard emphatically denied that observation could reveal the inner workings of the spiritual world.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span>[</span>12<span>]</span></a></sup> In 1847 Kierkegaard described his own view of the single individual:</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">God is not like a human being; it is not important for God to have visible evidence so that he can see if his cause has been victorious or not; he sees in secret just as well. Moreover, it is so far from being the case that you should help God to learn anew that it is rather he who will help you to learn anew, so that you are weaned from the worldly point of view that insists on visible evidence. (...) A decision in the external sphere is what Christianity does not want; (...) rather it wants to test the individual’s faith."<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span>[</span>13<span>]</span></a></sup></div>
</blockquote>
<p>Some of Kierkegaard's key ideas include the concept of <i>"<a href="/wiki/Philosophy_of_S%C3%B8ren_Kierkegaard#Subjectivity" title="Philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard">Truth as Subjectivity</a>"</i>, the <a href="/wiki/Knight_of_faith" title="Knight of faith">knight of faith</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Repetition_(Kierkegaard)" title="Repetition (Kierkegaard)">recollection and repetition</a> dichotomy, <a href="/wiki/Angst" title="Angst">angst</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Infinite_qualitative_distinction" title="Infinite qualitative distinction">infinite qualitative distinction</a>, <a href="/wiki/Theology_of_S%C3%B8ren_Kierkegaard" title="Theology of Søren Kierkegaard">faith as a passion</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Philosophy_of_S%C3%B8ren_Kierkegaard#Three_stages_of_life" title="Philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard">three stages on life's way</a>.

<p>Søren Kierkegaard was born to an affluent family in <a href="/wiki/Copenhagen" title="Copenhagen">Copenhagen</a>. His mother, Ane Sørensdatter Lund Kierkegaard, had served as a maid in the household before marrying his father, Michael Pedersen Kierkegaard. She was an unassuming figure: quiet, plain, and not formally educated but Henriette Lund, her granddaughter, wrote that she "wielded the sceptre with joy and protected [Soren and Peter] like a hen protecting her children".<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span>[</span>17<span>]</span></a></sup> His father was a "very stern man, to all appearances dry and prosaic, but under his 'rustic cloak' demeanor he concealed an active imagination which not even his great age could blunt."<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span>[</span>18<span>]</span></a></sup> He read the philosophy of <a href="/wiki/Christian_Wolff_(philosopher)" title="Christian Wolff (philosopher)">Christian Wolff</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span>[</span>19<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span>[</span>20<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard preferred the comedies of <a href="/wiki/Ludvig_Holberg" title="Ludvig Holberg">Ludvig Holberg</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span>[</span>21<span>]</span></a></sup> the writings of <a href="/wiki/Georg_Johann_Hamann" title="Georg Johann Hamann" class="mw-redirect">Georg Johann Hamann</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span>[</span>22<span>]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Gotthold_Ephraim_Lessing" title="Gotthold Ephraim Lessing">Gotthold Ephraim Lessing</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span>[</span>23<span>]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Edward_Young" title="Edward Young">Edward Young</a><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span>[</span>24<span>]</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a>, especially those referring to Socrates.</p>
<p>Copenhagen in the 1830s and 1840s had crooked streets where carriages rarely went. Kierkegaard loved to walk them. In 1848, Kierkegaard wrote, "I had real Christian satisfaction in the thought that, if there were no other, there was definitely one man in Copenhagen whom every poor person could freely accost and converse with on the street; that, if there were no other, there was one man who, whatever the society he most commonly frequented, did not shun contact with the poor, but greeted every maidservant he was acquainted with, every manservant, every common laborer."<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span>[</span>25<span>]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Our_Lady_(Copenhagen)" title="Church of Our Lady (Copenhagen)">Our Lady's Church</a> was at one end of the city, where <a href="/wiki/Jacob_Peter_Mynster" title="Jacob Peter Mynster">Bishop Mynster</a> preached the Gospel.

<p>Based on a speculative interpretation of <a href="/wiki/Anecdote" title="Anecdote">anecdotes</a> in Kierkegaard's unpublished journals, especially a rough draft of a story called "The Great Earthquake",<sup id="cite_ref-Watkin_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Watkin-27"><span>[</span>27<span>]</span></a></sup> some early Kierkegaard scholars argued that Michael believed he had earned God's wrath and that none of his children would outlive him. He is said to have believed that his personal sins, perhaps indiscretions such as cursing the name of God in his youth or impregnating Ane out of wedlock, necessitated this punishment. Though five of his seven children died before he did, both Kierkegaard and his brother <a href="/wiki/Peter_Kierkegaard" title="Peter Kierkegaard">Peter Christian Kierkegaard</a> outlived him.<sup id="cite_ref-GarffBio_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GarffBio-28"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a></sup> Peter, who was seven years Kierkegaard's elder, later became bishop in <a href="/wiki/Aalborg" title="Aalborg">Aalborg</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-GarffBio_28-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GarffBio-28"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Kierkegaard attended the School of Civic Virtue, Østre Borgerdyd Gymnasium, in 1830 when the school was situated in Klarebodeme, where he studied Latin and history among other subjects. He went on to study <a href="/wiki/Theology" title="Theology">theology</a> at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Copenhagen" title="University of Copenhagen">University of Copenhagen</a>. He had little interest in historical works, philosophy dissatisfied him, and he couldn't see "dedicating himself to <a href="/wiki/Philosophy#Main_theories" title="Philosophy">Speculation</a>".<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span>[</span>29<span>]</span></a></sup> He said, "What I really need to do is to get clear about "<a href="/wiki/Praxis_(process)" title="Praxis (process)">what am I to do</a>", not <a href="/wiki/Knowledge" title="Knowledge">what I must know</a>". He wanted to "lead a completely human life and not merely one of knowledge."<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span>[</span>30<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard didn't want to be a philosopher in the traditional or Hegelian sense<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span>[</span>31<span>]</span></a></sup> and he didn't want to preach a Christianity that was an illusion.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span>[</span>32<span>]</span></a></sup> "But he had learned from his father that one can do what one wills, and his father's life had not discredited this theory."<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span>[</span>33<span>]</span></a></sup> He became a "spy for God".

<p>One of the first physical descriptions of Kierkegaard comes from an attendee, Hans Brøchner, at his brother Peter's wedding party in 1836: "I found [his appearance] almost comical. He was then twenty-three years old; he had something quite irregular in his entire form and had a strange coiffure. His hair rose almost six inches above his forehead into a tousled crest that gave him a strange, bewildered look."<sup id="cite_ref-Brochner_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brochner-36"><span>[</span>36<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Kierkegaard's mother "was a nice little woman with an even and happy disposition," according to a grandchild's description. She was never mentioned in Kierkegaard's works.

<p>Kierkegaard's Journals were first given to his brother-in-law, J.C. Lund and then to his brother, Peter Kierkegaard, but serious work on them began in 1865. H.P Barnum translated 1833–1846<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span>[</span>39<span>]</span></a></sup> but "threw away a significant portion of the originals."<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span>[</span>40<span>]</span></a></sup> This rendered the journals up to 1847 more of a <a href="/wiki/Secondary_source" title="Secondary source">secondary source</a> of information about Kierkegaard than a <a href="/wiki/Primary_source" title="Primary source">primary source</a>.</p>
<p>However, according to <a href="/wiki/Hugo_Bergmann" title="Hugo Bergmann">Samuel Hugo Bergmann</a>, "Kierkegaard's journals are one of the most important sources for an understanding of his philosophy".<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span>[</span>41<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard wrote over 7,000 pages in his journals on events, musings, thoughts about his works and everyday remarks.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span>[</span>42<span>]</span></a></sup> The entire collection of Danish journals was edited and published in 13 volumes consisting of 25 separate bindings including indices.

<p>Kierkegaard's journals were the source of many <a href="/wiki/Aphorism" title="Aphorism">aphorisms</a> credited to the philosopher. The following passage, from 1 August 1835, is perhaps his most oft-quoted aphorism and a key quote for existentialist studies:</p>

<p>Although his journals clarify some aspects of his work and life, Kierkegaard took care not to reveal too much. Abrupt changes in thought, repetitive writing, and unusual turns of phrase are some among the many tactics he used to throw readers off track. Consequently, there are many varying interpretations of his journals. Kierkegaard did not doubt the importance his journals would have in the future. In December 1849, he wrote: "Were I to die now the effect of my life would be exceptional; much of what I have simply jotted down carelessly in the Journals would become of great importance and have a great effect; for then people would have grown reconciled to me and would be able to grant me what was, and is, my right."<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span>[</span>47<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

Regine Olsen, a muse for Kierkegaard's writings</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>An important aspect of Kierkegaard's life - generally considered to have had a major influence on his work - was his broken engagement to <a href="/wiki/Regine_Olsen" title="Regine Olsen">Regine Olsen</a> (1822–1904). Kierkegaard and Olsen met on 8 May 1837 and were instantly attracted to each other, but sometime around 11 August 1838 he had second thoughts. In his journals, Kierkegaard wrote about his love for her:</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">You, sovereign queen of my heart, Regina, hidden in the deepest secrecy of my breast, in the fullness of my life-idea, there where it is just as far to heaven as to hell—unknown divinity! O, can I really believe the poets when they say that the first time one sees the beloved object he thinks he has seen her long before, that love like all knowledge is recollection, that love in the single individual also has its prophecies, its types, its myths, its Old Testament. Everywhere, in the face of every girl, I see features of your beauty, but I think I would have to possess the beauty of all the girls in the world to extract your beauty, that I would have to sail around the world to find the portion of the world I want and toward which the deepest secret of my self polarically points—and in the next moment you are so close to me, so present, so overwhelmingly filling my spirit that I am transfigured to myself and feel that here it is good to be. You blind god of erotic love! You who see in secret, will you disclose it to me? Will I find what I am seeking here in this world, will I experience the conclusion of all my life's eccentric premises, will I fold you in my arms, or: <i>Do the Orders say: March on?</i> Have you gone on ahead, you, my longing, transfigured do you beckon to me from another world? O, I will throw everything away in order to become light enough to follow you. <i>Journals &amp; Papers of Søren Kierkegaard</i> 11 August 1838 <sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span>[</span>48<span>]</span></a></sup></div>
</blockquote>
<p>On 8 September 1840, Kierkegaard formally proposed to Olsen. He soon felt disillusioned about his prospects. He broke off the engagement on 11 August 1841, though it is generally believed that the two were deeply in love. In his journals, Kierkegaard mentions his belief that his "melancholy" made him unsuitable for marriage, but his precise motive for ending the engagement remains unclear.<sup id="cite_ref-GarffBio_28-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GarffBio-28"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-HannayBio_49-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HannayBio-49"><span>[</span>49<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-50" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-50"><span>[</span>50<span>]</span></a></sup> The following quote from his <i>Stages on Life's Way</i> (1845) sheds some light on the motivation.</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">
<blockquote>
<p>So it is a year ago today since I saw her for the first time, that is, for the first time with a resolute soul. I was no fantasizer, was not in the habit of becoming intoxicated on fine words and brief dreams; therefore my <a href="//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/resolution" class="extiw" title="wikt:resolution">resolution</a> certainly did not mean that I would die if she did not become mine. Neither did I think that my soul would be scattered and my life become completely empty for me if she did not become mine-I had too many religious <a href="//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/presupposition" class="extiw" title="wikt:presupposition">presuppositions</a> for that. For me my resolution meant: Marry her or do not marry at all. That is what was at stake. In my soul there was no doubt that I loved her, but I also knew that in connection with such a step there were so many anomalies that for me it became the most difficult task. An individuality like me is not nimble; I cannot say: If I do not have this one, I’ll take another. I do not dare to allow myself the presupposition, which comes easily to many, that a person is himself always all right, if only the other one is worthy of him. As far as I am concerned, the emphasis must be placed elsewhere-whether I was actually capable of giving my life the kind of expression that a marriage requires. I was as much in love as anyone, even though not many would understand that I, if my deliberation had not allowed me this step, would have kept my falling in love to myself. I marry her or I do not marry at all. Soren Kierkegaard, <i>Stages on Life's Way</i> p. 195–196</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>About this conflict within me, I do not dare as yet to say "today,"<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span>[</span>51<span>]</span></a></sup> but I feel that I owe her much with respect to venturing. The one who has made another person unhappy can be very useful for persevering in battles such as this: the one who is sentenced to life is given rasp work to do, which is mortally dangerous, but then, after all, he is condemned.This, too, I also realize-that the unmarried person can venture more in the world of the spirit than the married, and risk everything and be concerned only about the idea, and is qualified in a totally different way to be in the <i>discrimen</i> [crucial movement] of decision, where it is almost impossible to stand, to say nothing of taking up residence. But definitely this was not my reason for not wishing to marry. Indeed, I, too, wished for a somewhat quieter happiness in life, and her beseeching made my own wish my one and only wish. And even if I had not wished it, I would have done it, because I always believe that obedience is more precious to God than, cosmopolitan, philanthropic, patriotic sacrifices upon the altar of humanity, that quietness in the fulfilling of a modest duty is infinitely more valuable and more befitting to every human being than luxuriance in the world of the spirit and prodigality of concern for the whole human race, as if one were God in heaven. Let them talk vehemently about God’s wrath and the consuming fire ({Hebrews 12.29})-there is also something I fear and fear just as much, and that is that I might force God to pull rank on me, make me vanish as a lie before his stately and superior majesty. As soon as I disdain duty, God becomes exclusive, for only in duty am I in humble harmony with his sublimity, and therefore his majesty is not exclusiveness. Therefore it is not God who makes himself exclusive which he never does (this is paganism), but it is I who make him exclusive, and this is a punishment. This is the profound consistency: that the person who wants to come closer to God by disdaining what is simple, distances God in his exclusiveness, in an exclusiveness that not even the most wretched of human beings has to experience. Here, too, I am quick of hearing, and even though <a href="/wiki/Archimedes" title="Archimedes">many a philosopher who shouts to the world give me a place to stand</a> does not hear it, I hear a voice that says: I will give you your <i>Dosmoi</i>, you dunces [<i>Dosmere</i>]! No! if I had not believed that I had a divine counterorder, I never would have retreated, and as soon as this order is revoked I shall choose my wish again. God forbid that the effort and tension weaken my wish before this is allowed! My counterorder I can understand, for it goes through repentance. A repentant individuality who is able to take a whole lifetime to recant cannot advance. This is a very simple protest against marriage. I have neither visions nor dreams to guide me; my collision is quite simply the collision of repentance with existence, a collision of suspension with a present actuality. Until it is resolved, I am in <i>suspenso</i>; as soon as it is resolved, I am free again. This is why I am doing all I can to keep myself at the pinnacle of love. As soon as she is free, the religious crisis are my task. Just suppose, to think quite theoretically, suppose that she found herself again; just suppose that the remark about death had been only an exaggeration, not intended as a pathos-filled reply but something like the utterance when one says in the course of a conversation: I am almost dying from the heat in this cramped apartment. Just suppose she had meant it but did not understand herself, or suppose she had suffered unto death but had been victorious; just suppose I had contributed a little to this victory or nothing at all; just suppose she seized the defense that she had never cared about me at all-what then? Good God, as if this were possible! How my soul snatches at every explanation from this quarter! ... You see, if this was the situation, then my position becomes difficult in an odd way. I would have to have a human life on my conscience in order to be awakened and torn out of the lethargy of depression. I humble myself under the earnestness of this thought. But then along comes my understanding and says: No, this is not true; you perceived, of course that it was not a question of a human life, it was your imagination that created this hallucination and showed it to your depression, and both agreed that it was possible. But then it was not a human life; it was a word that you perhaps would even have laughed at in many another’s mouth. Yes, in one sense that is true. And yet I regret nothing; I do not regret having suffered all this pain, which nevertheless has not yet paralyzed me, although it would do that if I were to talk about it. I have felt it in loneliness, in sleeplessness, when in one second one can think more thoughts together than one can write in months, when the <a href="/wiki/The_Concept_of_Anxiety" title="The Concept of Anxiety">imagination conjures up anxieties</a> with which no pen dares to become involved, when the conscience gives a start of alarm and terrifies with optical illusions. But alas, all this is only a theory. To grasp a theory is just like embracing a cloud instead of Juno, and it is also unfaithfulness to her. But to use the theory as a means of exercising, to unbuckle the soul in it so as to give one’s energy new elasticity, that is permissible-indeed it is what one ought to do.

<p>Kierkegaard turned attention to his examinations. On 13 May 1839 he wrote, "I have no alternative than to suppose that it is God's will that I prepare for my examination and that it is more pleasing to him that I do this than actually coming to some clearer perception by immersing myself in one or another sort of research, for obedience is more precious to him than the fat of rams."<sup id="cite_ref-53" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-53"><span>[</span>53<span>]</span></a></sup> The death of his father and the death of <a href="/wiki/Poul_Martin_M%C3%B8ller" title="Poul Martin Møller">Poul Møller</a> also played a part in his decision. Kierkegaard may have been thinking about this quote by Møller as he contemplated the completion of his examinations.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"What Poul Møller says somewhere is so true and so mature: "During fairly complete idleness, one can still avoid boredom as long as an obligatory task is being neglected through the idleness, because one is then somewhat occupied by the continual struggle one is in with oneself. But as soon as the duty ceases, or one no longer feels any reminder of it at all, boredom sets in. The private tutor who from moment to moment postpones a working hour enjoys himself as long as he is on the point of going to his pupil, but when he has decided to skip the hour his enjoyment ceases. The reminder by conscience in that example was something unpleasant that served as stimulation for something pleasant. A poet who is writing a tragedy, although it was part of his plan of life to study for a degree, will do it with greater enthusiasm than he will do it later if he gives up that plan."" Soren Kierkegaard, <i>The Book on Adler</i> p. 128–129 Hong 1998</p>

<p>On 29 September 1841, Kierkegaard wrote and defended his dissertation, <i><a href="/wiki/On_the_Concept_of_Irony_with_Continual_Reference_to_Socrates" title="On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates">On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates</a></i>.

Kierkegaard employed the same technique as a way to provide examples of indirect communication.</p>
<p><i>On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates</i> was his university thesis, mentioned above. His first book, <i>De omnibus dubitandum est</i> (<i>Latin:</i> "Everything must be doubted"), was written in 1841–42 but was not published until after his death. It was written under the pseudonym "Johannes Climacus".<sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56"><span>[</span>56<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p><i><a href="/wiki/Either/Or" title="Either/Or">Either/Or</a></i> was published 20 February 1843; it was mostly written during Kierkegaard's stay in Berlin, where he took notes on Schelling's <i>Philosophy of Revelation</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span>[</span>57<span>]</span></a></sup> Edited by Victor Eremita, the book contained the papers of an unknown "A" and "B" which were discovered by Victor Eremita (the pseudonymous author) claimed to have found these papers in a secret drawer of his <a href="/wiki/Secretary_desk" title="Secretary desk">secretary</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span>[</span>58<span>]</span></a></sup> Eremita had a hard time putting the papers of "A" in order because they were not straightforward.

Eremita thinks "B", a judge, makes the most sense.</p>
<p>Three months after the publication of <i>Either/Or</i>, 16 May 1843, he published <i>Two Edifying Discourses</i> and continued to publish discourses along with his <a href="/wiki/Pseudonymous" title="Pseudonymous" class="mw-redirect">pseudonymous</a> books. These discourses were published under Kierkegaard's own name and are available as <i>Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses</i> today.</p>
<p>Edifying is not a word that is used much today but it was when David F. Swenson translated the works in the 1940s. Later, in 1990, <a href="/wiki/Howard_V._and_Edna_H._Hong_Kierkegaard_Library" title="Howard V. and Edna H. Hong Kierkegaard Library">Howard V. and Edna H. Hong</a> translated the works again but used the word upbuilding, which was more in line with Kierkegaard's thought after 1846 when he wrote Christian <a href="/wiki/Deliberations" title="Deliberations" class="mw-redirect">deliberations</a> about <a href="/wiki/Works_of_Love" title="Works of Love">works of love</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-61" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-61"><span>[</span>61<span>]</span></a></sup> An upbuilding discourse or edifying discourse isn't the same as a sermon because a sermon is preached to a congregation while a discourse can be carried on between several people or even with oneself. The discourse or conversation should be "upbuilding", which means one would build up the other person, or oneself, rather than tear down in order to build up. Kierkegaard said: "Although this little book (which is called "<a href="/wiki/Conversation" title="Conversation">discourses</a>," not <a href="/wiki/Sermon" title="Sermon">sermons</a>, because its author does not have <a href="/wiki/Authority" title="Authority">authority</a> to <i>preach</i>, "upbuilding discourses," not discourses for upbuilding, because the speaker by no means claims to be a <i>teacher</i>) wishes to be only what it is, a <a class="external text" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/superfluity">superfluity</a>, and desires only to remain in hiding".<sup id="cite_ref-62" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-62"><span>[</span>62<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>On 16 October 1843 Kierkegaard published three more books about love and faith and several more discourses. <i><a href="/wiki/Fear_and_Trembling" title="Fear and Trembling">Fear and Trembling</a></i>, published under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, was about Abraham wishing he did not have to sacrifice his son, <a href="/wiki/Isaac" title="Isaac">Isaac</a>, to show his love for God. Kierkegaard compared Abraham's situation with that of <a href="/wiki/Agamemnon" title="Agamemnon">Agamemnon</a> who saw it as his duty to sacrifice his daughter, <a href="/wiki/Iphigenia" title="Iphigenia">Iphigenia</a>, to show his love for the Greek state. Abraham couldn't understand how sacrificing Isaac would be a good gift while Agamemnon was certain that sacrificing Iphigenia would be a good gift to the Greek state. <i><a href="/wiki/Repetition_(Kierkegaard)" title="Repetition (Kierkegaard)">Repetition</a></i> is about a Young Man (Soren Kierkegaard) who is suffering from <a href="/wiki/Anxiety" title="Anxiety">anxiety</a> and depression because he feels he has to sacrifice his love for a girl (Regine Olsen) to God. He tries to see if the new science of <a href="/wiki/Psychology" title="Psychology">psychology</a> can help him understand himself. Constantin Constantius, who is the pseudonymous author of that book, is the psychologist. At the same time he published <i><a href="/wiki/Three_Upbuilding_Discourses" title="Three Upbuilding Discourses">Three Upbuilding Discourses</a>, 1843</i> under his own name, which dealt specifically with how love can be used to hide things from yourself or others.<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span>[</span>63<span>]</span></a></sup> These three books, all published on the same day, are an example of Kierkegaard's method of indirect communication.</p>
<p>Kierkegaard questioned whether an individual can know if something is a good gift from God or not and concludes by saying, "it does not depend, then, merely upon what one sees, but what one sees depends upon <i>how</i> one sees; all observation is not just a receiving, a discovering, but also a bringing forth, and insofar as it is that, how the observer himself is <a href="/wiki/Temperament" title="Temperament">constituted</a> is indeed decisive."<sup id="cite_ref-64" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-64"><span>[</span>64<span>]</span></a></sup> God's love is imparted indirectly just as our own sometimes is. He wrote the following in 1845, 1846, and in 1847.</p>
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<p>"God creates out of nothing, but here, if I dare say so, he does more-he dresses an instinct in all the beauty of erotic love so that the lovers see only the beauty and are unaware of the instinct." .... "The how of the truth is precisely the truth. .... Every human being is spirit and truth is the self-activity of appropriation." .... "There is no work, not one single one, not even the best, about which we unconditionally dare to say: The one who does this unconditionally demonstrates love by it. It depends on <i>how</i> the work is done." Soren Kierkegaard, <i>Stages on Life's Way</i>, p. 122-123, <i>Concluding Postscript</i> p. 322-323, 242, <i>Works of Love</i>, Hong p. 13</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In 1844 he published two, three, four upbuilding discourses just as he did in 1843 but here he discussed how an individual might come to know <a href="/wiki/God" title="God">God</a>. <a href="/wiki/Theologians" title="Theologians" class="mw-redirect">Theologians</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philosophers" title="Philosophers" class="mw-redirect">philosophers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Historians" title="Historians" class="mw-redirect">historians</a> were all engaged in <a href="/wiki/Debating" title="Debating" class="mw-redirect">debating</a> about the existence of God. This is direct communication and Kierkegaard thinks this might be useful for theologians, philosophers, and historians (associations) but not at all useful for the "single individual" that is interested in becoming a Christian. Kierkegaard always wrote for "that single individual whom I with joy and gratitude call <i>my</i> reader"<sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-65"><span>[</span>65<span>]</span></a></sup> The single individual must put what is <a href="/wiki/Understood" title="Understood" class="mw-redirect">understood</a> to use or it will be lost. <a href="/wiki/Human_self-reflection" title="Human self-reflection">Reflection</a> can take an individual only so far before the <a href="/wiki/Imagination" title="Imagination">imagination</a> begins to change the whole content of what was being thought about. Love is won by being exercised just as much as faith and patience are.</p>
<p>He also wrote several more pseudonymous books in 1844: <i><a href="/wiki/Philosophical_Fragments" title="Philosophical Fragments">Philosophical Fragments</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Prefaces" title="Prefaces">Prefaces</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Concept_of_Anxiety" title="The Concept of Anxiety">The Concept of Anxiety</a></i> and finished the year up with <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Four_Upbuilding_Discourses,_1844&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Four Upbuilding Discourses, 1844 (page does not exist)">Four Upbuilding Discourses, 1844</a></i>. He used indirect communication in the first book and direct communication in the rest of them. He doesn't believe the question about God's existence should be an <a href="/wiki/Opinion" title="Opinion">opinion</a> held by one group and differently by another no matter how many <a href="/wiki/Scientific_demonstration" title="Scientific demonstration">demonstrations</a> are made. He says its up to the single individual to make the <a href="/wiki/Fruit_of_the_Holy_Spirit" title="Fruit of the Holy Spirit">fruit of the Holy Spirit</a> real because love and joy are always just possibilities. <a href="/wiki/Christendom" title="Christendom">Christendom</a> wanted to define God's <a href="/wiki/Attributes_of_God_in_Christianity" title="Attributes of God in Christianity">attributes</a> once and for all but Kierkegaard was against this. His love for Regine was a disaster but it helped him because of his point of view. In 1845 he wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>There is one person, one single person, about whom everything revolves. I gaze and gaze so long at this girl-until I draw out of myself what I perhaps would otherwise never have come to see, even if I had seen ever so much, for this would not imply that my inwardness had become transparent to me. If she had been unusually gifted with spirit, she would never have affected me in this way. She is quite enough for me when it comes to responsibility, and again the responsibility is mine, and yet it is she who in this responsibility brings my inwardness to consciousness. The testing quietness of responsibility teaches a person to have to help himself by virtue of spirit; achievement, action, activities, so often lauded and deservedly so, can still have an admixture of <a class="external text" href="http://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&amp;search=diversion&amp;redirs=1&amp;profile=default">diversion</a> so that one does not find out what one is capable of by virtue of spirit and what the manifold external stimuli help one to attain; one also escapes many a terror that does not have time to reach one, but to escape them does not mean to have conquered them or to have understood oneself. She will go on helping me with responsibility, for I will not be finished where she is finished. Suppose she became another’s and I became free. Then I am not finished, for then I would still have the possibility that it would suddenly strike me-perhaps prompted by some thinker or by a chance word, which at times has the greatest power—that it would suddenly strike me that a marriage could have been built out of our relationship. Precisely because in that case I would not have the <a href="/wiki/Sympathy" title="Sympathy">sympathetic</a> consternation on her behalf, the pain would grip me again, but <a href="/wiki/Self" title="Self">auto</a><a href="/wiki/Pathos" title="Pathos">pathetically</a>. What will responsibility be to me then? It will become my very consolation, and in that very responsibility I shall come to <a href="/wiki/Understand" title="Understand" class="mw-redirect">understand</a> <a href="/wiki/Myself" title="Myself" class="mw-redirect">myself</a>. Soren Kierkegaard, <i>Stages on Life's Way</i>, Hong p. 363-368</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Kierkegaard believed "each <a href="/wiki/Generation" title="Generation">generation</a> has its own task and need not trouble itself unduly by being <a href="/wiki/Theory_of_everything#Theory_of_everything_and_philosophy" title="Theory of everything">everything</a> to previous and succeeding generations".<sup id="cite_ref-66" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-66"><span>[</span>66<span>]</span></a></sup> In an earlier book he had said, "to a certain degree every generation and every individual begins his life from the beginning",<sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-67"><span>[</span>67<span>]</span></a></sup> and in another, "no generation has learned to love from another, no generation is able to begin at any other point than the beginning", "no generation learns the essentially human from a previous one.<sup id="cite_ref-68" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-68"><span>[</span>68<span>]</span></a></sup> He was against the <a href="/wiki/Hegelian" title="Hegelian" class="mw-redirect">Hegelian</a> idea of <a href="/wiki/Mediation_(Marxist_theory_and_media_studies)" title="Mediation (Marxist theory and media studies)">mediation</a><sup id="cite_ref-69" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-69"><span>[</span>69<span>]</span></a></sup> because it introduces a "third term"<sup id="cite_ref-70" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-70"><span>[</span>70<span>]</span></a></sup> that comes between the single individual and the object of desire. Kierkegaard asked if logic ends in actuality, can a person logically prove God's existence? <a href="/wiki/Logic" title="Logic">Logic</a> says no. Then he turns from logic to <a href="/wiki/Ethics" title="Ethics">ethics</a> and finds that Hegelian philosophy is <a href="/wiki/Apophatic_theology" title="Apophatic theology">negative</a> rather than positive.<sup id="cite_ref-71" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-71"><span>[</span>71<span>]</span></a></sup> This "third term" isn't mediation, it's love that proves God's existence. He addressed this again in 1847:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You know that God is, but it seems as if he has withdrawn into himself. You know that Christ existed eighteen-hundred years ago, but that was a long time ago. Meet all the terrors of the future with this comfort: love abides; meet all the anxiety and listlessness of the present with this comfort; love abides. This is an upbuilding thought: love abides. This little work is continually dealing only with the works of love, therefore not with God’s love, but with human love. There is the one who loves then the object of love and love itself as the third. .... God’s being merciful points away from himself. "If you want to love me, then love the people you see; what you do for them, you do for me. If you want to show that your life is intended to serve God, then let it serve people, yet continually with the thought of God." Soren Kierkegaard, <i>Works of Love</i>, Hong, p. 301, 160-161</p>

<p>Kierkegaard believed God comes to each individual mysteriously, he wrote:</p>
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<p>"Revelation is marked by mystery, eternal happiness by suffering, the certitude of faith by uncertainty, easiness by difficulty, truth by absurdity; if this is not maintained, then the esthetic and the religious merge in common confusion. ... The religious lies in the dialectic of inwardness deepening and therefore, with regard to the conception of God, this means that he himself is moved, is changed. An action in the eternal transforms the individual’s existence." This was part of Kierkegaard's theory of "indirect communication." He wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"No anonymous author can more slyly hide himself, and no <a href="/wiki/Maieutic" title="Maieutic" class="mw-redirect">maieutic</a> can more carefully recede from a direct relation than God can. He is in the creation, everywhere in the creation, but he is not there directly, and only when the single individual turns inward into himself (consequently only in the inwardness of <a href="/wiki/Self-determination_theory" title="Self-determination theory">self-activity</a>) does he become <a href="/wiki/Aware" title="Aware" class="mw-redirect">aware</a> and capable of seeing God." <i>Concluding Unscientific Postscript</i>, Hong 1992 p. 243</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Despite everything people ought to have learned about my maieutic carefulness, in addition to proceeding slowly and continually letting it seem as if I knew nothing more, not the next thing — now on the occasion of my new upbuilding discourses they will probably bawl out that I do not know what comes next, that I know nothing about sociality. You fools! Yet on the other hand I owe it to myself to confess before God that in a certain sense there is some truth in it, only not as men understand it — namely, that when I have first presented one aspect sharply, then I affirm the other even more strongly. Now I have my theme of the next book. It will be called: <i>Works of Love</i>. <i>Journals of Soren Kierkegaard</i> VIII1A4</p>

<p>Kierkegaard published <i>Three Discourses on Imagined Occasions</i> under his own name on 29 April, and <i><a href="/wiki/Stages_on_Life%27s_Way" title="Stages on Life's Way">Stages on Life's Way</a></i> edited by Hilarius Bookbinder, 30 April 1845. The <i>Stages</i> is a rewrite of Either/Or which Kierkegaard didn't think had been adequately read by the public and in <i>Stages</i> he predicted "that two-thirds of the book's readers will quit before they are halfway through, out of boredom they will throw the book away."<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72"><span>[</span>72<span>]</span></a></sup> He then went to Berlin for a short rest. Upon returning he published his <i>Discourses</i> of 1843–44 in one volume, <i>Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses</i>, 29 May 1845 and finished the first part of his authorship with <i><a href="/wiki/Concluding_Unscientific_Postscript_to_the_Philosophical_Fragments" title="Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Fragments" class="mw-redirect">Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Fragments</a></i> which was a rewrite of <i>Philosophical Fragments</i> as well as an explanation of the first part of his authorship. In 1851 he further explained himself in his <i>Journal</i>. "What I have understood as the task of the authorship has been done. It is one idea, this continuity from <i>Either/Or</i> to <a href="/wiki/Practice_in_Christianity" title="Practice in Christianity">Anti-Climacus</a>, the idea of religiousness in reflection. The task has occupied me totally, for it has occupied me religiously; I have understood the completion of this authorship as my duty, as a responsibility resting upon me." He advised his reader to read his books slowly and also to read them aloud since that might aid in understanding.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span>[</span>73<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>He was writing about the <a href="/wiki/Spirit" title="Spirit">inner being</a> in all of these books and his goal was to get the single individual away from all the <a href="/wiki/Speculation" title="Speculation">speculation</a> that was going on about God and <a href="/wiki/Christ" title="Christ">Christ</a>. Speculation creates quantities of ways to find God and his Goods but finding faith in Christ and putting the understanding to use stops all speculation because then one begins to actually exist as a Christian or in an ethical/religious way. In Kierkegaard's view the Church shouldn't try to prove Christianity or even defend it. It should help the single individual to make a <a href="/wiki/Leap_of_faith" title="Leap of faith">leap of faith</a>. He wrote:</p>
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<p>It is in the living room that the battle must be fought, lest the skirmishes of religiousness become a changing-of-the-guard parade one day a week. It is in the living room that the battle must be fought, not imaginatively in church, with the pastor shadowboxing and the listeners looking on. It is in the living room that the battle must be fought, because the victory must be that the home becomes a shrine. Let the work be done directly in the church by holding an inspection of the contending forces-under whose banner the battle will be fought, in whose name the victory will be won-by describing the position of the enemy, by imitating the attack, by praising the omnipotent ally and strengthening trust by arousing mistrust, trust in him through mistrust of oneself. Let the work be done indirectly by the ironic but yet most tender sympathy of secret concern. But the main point still is that the single individual will go home from church willing wholeheartedly and eagerly to battle in the living room. If the pastor’s activity in the church is merely a once-a-week attempt to tow the congregation’s cargo ship a little closer to eternity, the whole thing comes to nothing, because a human life, unlike a cargo ship, cannot lie in the same place until the next Sunday. Therefore, the church is the very place where the difficulty must be presented, and it is better to go from the church discouraged and to find the task easier than one thought than to go from church overly confident and to become discouraged in the living room. <i>Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments</i> P. 465</p>

<p>Kierkegaard wrote his <i>Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments</i> in 1846 and here he tried to explain the intent of the first part of his authorship. He said, "Christianity will not be content to be an evolution within the total category of human nature; an engagement such as that is too little to offer to a god. Neither does it even want to be the paradox for the believer, and then surreptitiously, little by little, provide him with understanding, because the martyrdom of faith (to crucify one’s understanding) is not a martyrdom of the moment, but the martyrdom of continuance."<sup id="cite_ref-76" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-76"><span>[</span>76<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

Irony is the cultivation of the spirit and therefore follows next after immediacy; then comes the ethicist, then the humorist, then the religious person. The religious person discovers that what engages him absolutely seems to engage others very little, but he draws no conclusions, partly because he has no time for that and partly because he cannot know for sure whether all these people are not <a href="/wiki/Knight_of_Faith" title="Knight of Faith" class="mw-redirect">knights of faith</a> in hidden inwardness. ....

In the religiousness of hidden inwardness, a person does not consider himself better than anyone else, does not consider himself distinguished by the relationship with God in a way that is not possible for everyone. ....

Scientific scholarship wants to take charge of the dialectical and to that end bring it over into the medium of abstraction, whereby the issue is again mistreated, since it is an existence-issue, and the actual dialectical difficulty disappears by being explained in the medium of abstraction, which ignores existence.

A caricature of Kierkegaard published in <i><a href="/wiki/Corsaren" title="Corsaren">The Corsair</a></i>, a satirical journal</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Kierkegaard wrote two small pieces in response to Møller, <i>The Activity of a Traveling Esthetician</i> and <i>Dialectical Result of a Literary Police Action</i>. The former focused on insulting Møller's integrity while the latter was a directed assault on <i>The Corsair</i>, in which Kierkegaard, after criticizing the journalistic quality and reputation of the paper, openly asked <i>The Corsair</i> to satirize him.<sup id="cite_ref-85" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-85"><span>[</span>85<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Kierkegaard's response earned him the ire of the paper and its second editor, also an intellectual of Kierkegaard's own age, <a href="/wiki/Me%C3%AFr_Aron_Goldschmidt" title="Meïr Aron Goldschmidt">Meïr Aron Goldschmidt</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-86" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-86"><span>[</span>86<span>]</span></a></sup> Over the next few months, <i>The Corsair</i> took Kierkegaard up on his offer to "be abused", and unleashed a series of attacks making fun of Kierkegaard's appearance, voice and habits. For months, Kierkegaard perceived himself to be the victim of harassment on the streets of Denmark. In a journal entry dated 9 March 1846, Kierkegaard made a long, detailed explanation of his attack on Møller and <i>The Corsair</i>, and also explained that this attack made him rethink his strategy of indirect communication.<sup id="cite_ref-87" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-87"><span>[</span>87<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>On 27 February 1846 Kierkegaard published <i><a href="/wiki/Concluding_Unscientific_Postscript_to_Philosophical_Fragments" title="Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments">Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments</a></i>, under his first pseudonym, Johannes Climacus. On 30 March 1846 he published <i><a href="/wiki/Two_Ages:_A_Literary_Review" title="Two Ages: A Literary Review">Two Ages: A Literary Review</a></i>, under his own name. A critique of the novel <i>Two Ages</i> (in some translations <i>Two Generations</i>) written by <a href="/wiki/Thomasine_Christine_Gyllembourg-Ehrensv%C3%A4rd" title="Thomasine Christine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd">Thomasine Christine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd</a>, Kierkegaard made several insightful observations on what he considered the nature of <a href="/wiki/Modernity" title="Modernity">modernity</a> and its passionless attitude towards life. Kierkegaard writes that "the present age is essentially a sensible age, devoid of passion [...] The trend today is in the direction of mathematical equality, so that in all classes about so and so many uniformly make one individual".<sup id="cite_ref-88" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-88"><span>[</span>88<span>]</span></a></sup> In this, Kierkegaard attacked the <a href="/wiki/Conformism" title="Conformism" class="mw-redirect">conformity</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cultural_assimilation" title="Cultural assimilation">assimilation</a> of individuals into "the crowd"<sup id="cite_ref-LitRev_89-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LitRev-89"><span>[</span>89<span>]</span></a></sup> which became the standard for truth, since it was the numerical.</p>
<p>As part of his analysis of the "crowd", Kierkegaard accused newspapers of decay and decadence. Kierkegaard stated Christendom had "lost its way" by recognizing "the crowd," as the many who are moved by newspaper stories, as the court of last resort in relation to "the truth." Truth comes to a single individual, not all people at one and the same time. Just as truth comes to one individual at a time so does love. One doesn't love the crowd but does love their neighbor, who is a single individual. He says, "never have I read in the Holy Scriptures this command: You shall love the crowd; even less: You shall, ethico-religiously, recognize in the crowd the court of last resort in relation to 'the truth.'"<sup id="cite_ref-90" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-90"><span>[</span>90<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard takes out his wrath on the crowd, the public, and especially the newspapers in this short sample of his work. In this quote he also gives an inkling of what true Christianity is like. God must be the middle term.<sup id="cite_ref-91" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-91"><span>[</span>91<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"The crowd is untruth. And I could weep, in every case I can learn to long for the eternal, whenever I think about our age's misery, even compared with the ancient world's greatest misery, in that the daily press and anonymity make our age even more insane with help from "the <a href="/wiki/General_public" title="General public" class="mw-redirect">public</a>," which is really an <a href="/wiki/Abstraction" title="Abstraction">abstraction</a>, which makes a claim to be the court of last resort in relation to "the truth"; for assemblies which make this claim surely do not take place. That an anonymous person, with help from the press, day in and day out can speak however he pleases (even with respect to the intellectual, the ethical, the religious), things which he perhaps did not in the least have the courage to say personally in a particular situation; every time he opens up his gullet—one cannot call it a mouth—he can all at once address himself to thousands upon thousands; he can get ten thousand times ten thousand to repeat after him—and no one has to answer for it; in ancient times the relatively unrepentant crowd was the almighty, but now there is the absolutely unrepentant thing: No One, an anonymous person: the Author, an anonymous person: the Public, sometimes even anonymous subscribers, therefore: No One. No One! God in heaven, such states even call themselves Christian states. One cannot say that, again with the help of the press, "the truth" can overcome the lie and the error.
<p><br /></p>
"O, you who say this, ask yourself: Do you dare to claim that human beings, in a crowd, are just as quick to reach for truth, which is not always palatable, as for untruth, which is always deliciously prepared, when in addition this must be combined with an admission that one has let oneself be deceived! Or do you dare to claim that "the truth" is just as quick to let itself be understood as is untruth, which requires no previous knowledge, no schooling, no discipline, no abstinence, no self-denial, no honest self-concern, no patient labor! No, "the truth," which detests this untruth, the only goal of which is to desire its increase, is not so quick on its feet. Firstly, it cannot work through the fantastical, which is the untruth; its communicator is only a single individual. And its communication relates itself once again to the single individual; for in this view of life the single individual is precisely the truth. The truth can neither be communicated nor be received without being as it were before the eyes of God, nor without God's help, nor without God being involved as the middle term, since he is the truth. It can therefore only be communicated by and received by "the single individual," which, for that matter, every single human being who lives could be: this is the determination of the truth in contrast to the abstract, the fantastical, impersonal, "the crowd" – "the public," which excludes God as the middle term (for the personal God cannot be the middle term in an impersonal relation), and also thereby the truth, for God is the truth and its middle term."

<p>The Second edition of <i>Either/Or</i> and <i>The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air</i> were both published early in 1849. Later that year he published <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sickness_Unto_Death" title="The Sickness Unto Death">The Sickness Unto Death</a></i>, under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus; four months later he wrote <i>Three Discourses at the Communion on Fridays</i> under his own name.

This work was called <i>Training in Christianity</i> when Walter Lowrie translated it in 1941.</p>
<p>In 1851, Kierkegaard began openly presenting his case for Christianity to the "Single Individual". In <i>Practice In Christianity</i>, his last pseudonymous work, he stated, "In this book, originating in the year 1848, the requirement for being a Christian is forced up by the pseudonymous authors to a supreme ideality."<sup id="cite_ref-96" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-96"><span>[</span>96<span>]</span></a></sup> He now pointedly referred to the single individual in his next three publications; <i><a href="/wiki/For_Self-Examination" title="For Self-Examination">For Self-Examination</a></i>, <i>Two Discourses at the Communion on Fridays</i>, and in 1852 <i><a href="/wiki/Judge_for_Yourselves!" title="Judge for Yourselves!">Judge for Yourselves!</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-97" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-97"><span>[</span>97<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-98" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-98"><span>[</span>98<span>]</span></a></sup> In 1843 he had written in <i>Either/Or</i>:</p>

<div class="Bug6200">"I ask: What am I supposed to do if I do not want to be a philosopher, I am well aware that I like other philosophers will have to <a href="/wiki/Mediation" title="Mediation">mediate</a> the past. For one thing, this is no answer to my question 'What am I supposed to do?' for even if I had the most brilliant philosophical mind there ever was, there must be something more I have to do besides sitting and contemplating the past. Second, I am a married man and far from being a philosophical brain, but in all respect I turn to the devotees of this science to find out what I am supposed to do. But I receive no answer, for philosophy mediates the past and is in the past-philosophy hastens so fast into the past that, as a poet says of an antiquarian, only his coattails remain in the present. See, here you are at one with the philosophers. What unites you is that life comes to a halt. For the philosopher, world history is ended, and he mediates. This accounts for the repugnant spectacle that belongs to the order of the day in our age-to see young people who are able to mediate Christianity and <a href="/wiki/Paganism" title="Paganism">paganism</a>, who are able to play games with the titanic forces of history, and who are unable to tell a simple human being what he has to do here in life, nor do they know what they themselves have to do." <i>Either/Or Vol II</i> Hong p. 171ff</div>
</blockquote>
<p>A journal entry about <i>Practice in Christianity</i> from 1851 clarified his intention:</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">What I have understood as the task of the authorship has been done. It is one idea, this continuity from Either/Or to Anti-Climacus, the idea of religiousness in reflection. The task has occupied me totally, for it has occupied me religiously; I have understood the completion of this authorship as my duty, as a responsibility resting upon me. Whether anyone has wanted to buy or to read has concerned me very little. At times I have considered laying down my pen and, if anything should be done, to use my voice. Meanwhile I came by way of further reflection to the realization that it perhaps is more appropriate for me to make at least an attempt once again to use my pen but in a different way, as I would use my voice, consequently in direct address to my contemporaries, winning men, if possible. The first condition for winning men is that the communication reaches them. Therefore I must naturally want this little book to come to the knowledge of as many as possible. If anyone out of interest for the cause—I repeat, out of interest for the cause—wants to work for its dissemination, this is fine with me. It would be still better if he would contribute to its well-comprehended dissemination. I hardly need say that by wanting to win men it is not my intention to form a party, to create secular, sensate togetherness; no, my wish is only to win men, if possible all men (each individual), for Christianity. A request, an urgent request to the reader: I beg you to read aloud, if possible; I will thank everyone who does so; and I will thank again and again everyone who in addition to doing it himself influences others to do it." <i>Journals of Søren Kierkegaard</i>, 1 June 1851</div>

Kierkegaard mounted an attack on Christian institutions in his final years. He felt the established state church was detrimental to individuals.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Kierkegaard's final years were taken up with a sustained, outright attack on the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Denmark" title="Church of Denmark">Church of Denmark</a> by means of newspaper articles published in <i>The Fatherland</i> (<i>Fædrelandet</i>) and a series of self-published pamphlets called <i>The Moment</i> (<i>Øjeblikket</i>), also translated as "The Instant". These pamphlets are now included in Kierkegaard's <i>Attack Upon Christendom</i><sup id="cite_ref-99" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-99"><span>[</span>99<span>]</span></a></sup> <i>The Instant</i>, was translated into German as well as other European languages in 1861 and again in 1896.<sup id="cite_ref-100" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-100"><span>[</span>100<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Kierkegaard first moved to action after Professor (soon bishop) <a href="/wiki/Hans_Lassen_Martensen" title="Hans Lassen Martensen">Hans Lassen Martensen</a> gave a speech in church in which he called the recently deceased Bishop Jakob P. Mynster a "truth-witness, one of the authentic truth-witnesses."<sup id="cite_ref-Elmer_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Elmer-7"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard explained, in his first article, that Mynster's death permitted him—at last—to be frank about his opinions. He later wrote that all his former output had been "preparations" for this attack, postponed for years waiting for two preconditions: 1) both his father and bishop Mynster should be dead before the attack and 2) he should himself have acquired a name as a famous theologic writer.<sup id="cite_ref-101" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-101"><span>[</span>101<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard's father had been Mynster's close friend, but Søren had long come to see that Mynster's conception of Christianity was mistaken, demanding too little of its adherents. Kierkegaard strongly objected to the portrayal of Mynster as a 'truth-witness'.</p>
<p>Before the tenth issue of his periodical <i>The Moment</i> could be published, Kierkegaard collapsed on the street. He stayed in the hospital for over a month and refused communion. At that time he regarded pastors as mere political officials, a niche in society who was clearly not representative of the divine. He said to Emil Boesen, a friend since childhood who kept a record of his conversations with Kierkegaard, that his life had been one of immense suffering, which may have seemed like vanity to others, but he did not think it so.<sup id="cite_ref-HannayBio_49-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HannayBio-49"><span>[</span>49<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I want honesty. The leniency which is the common Christianity in the land I want to place alongside of the New Testament in order to see how these two are related to one another. Then, if it appears, if I or another can prove, that it can be maintained face to face with the New Testament, then with the greatest joy I will agree to it. .... I have quite distinctly pointed out the difference between preaching Christianity in such a way that the preacher is "a government official, a man of rank, and his preaching his own glittering career, rich in enjoyment," and on the other hand a "suffering witness to the truth," without maintaining in any way whatsoever that suffering must signify suffering unto death. .... inasmuch as Christianity is spirit, the sobriety of spirit, the honesty of eternity, there is of course nothing which to its detective eye is so suspicious as are all fantastic entities: Christian states, Christian lands, a Christian people, and (how marvelous!) a Christian world.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"In a little masterpiece by State Counselor <a href="/wiki/Johan_Ludvig_Heiberg_(poet)" title="Johan Ludvig Heiberg (poet)">Heiberg</a> called "The Fairies" the schoolmaster Grimmermann had, as everyone knows, the experience of plunging down inadvertently 70,000 fathoms below the surface of the earth, and, still more unexpectedly if possible than his fall was inadvertent, he found himself surrounded by gnomes. "What nonsense," says Grimmermann, "there are no gnomes, and here is my commission [to prove it]." But, alas, to come to the gnomes with a royal commission is labor lost. What the devil do the gnomes care about a royal commission? Their kingdom is not of this world; obviously for them a royal commission = 0, at the very most it has the value of paper."

Søren Kierkegaard's grave in Assistens Kirkegård</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Kierkegaard died in <a href="/wiki/Frederiks_Hospital" title="Frederiks Hospital">Frederik's Hospital</a> after over a month, possibly from complications from a fall he had taken from a tree in his youth. He was interred in the <a href="/wiki/Assistens_Cemetery_(Copenhagen)" title="Assistens Cemetery (Copenhagen)">Assistens Kirkegård</a> in the <a href="/wiki/N%C3%B8rrebro" title="Nørrebro">Nørrebro</a> section of Copenhagen. At Kierkegaard's funeral, his nephew Henrik Lund caused a disturbance by protesting Kierkegaard's burial by the official church. Lund maintained that Kierkegaard would never have approved, had he been alive, as he had broken from and denounced the institution. Lund was later fined for his disruption of a funeral.<sup id="cite_ref-GarffBio_28-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GarffBio-28"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>In Kierkegaard's pamphlets and polemical books, including <i>The Moment</i>, he criticized several aspects of church formalities and politics.<sup id="cite_ref-102" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-102"><span>[</span>102<span>]</span></a></sup> According to Kierkegaard, the idea of congregations keeps individuals as children since Christians are disinclined from taking the initiative to take responsibility for their own relation to God. He stressed that "Christianity is the individual, here, the single individual."<sup id="cite_ref-Malik_103-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Malik-103"><span>[</span>103<span>]</span></a></sup> Furthermore, since the Church was controlled by the State, Kierkegaard believed the State's bureaucratic mission was to increase membership and oversee the welfare of its members. More members would mean more power for the clergymen: a corrupt ideal.<sup id="cite_ref-Walsh.2C_2009_104-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Walsh.2C_2009-104"><span>[</span>104<span>]</span></a></sup> This mission would seem at odds with Christianity's true doctrine, which, to Kierkegaard, is to stress the importance of the individual, not the whole.<sup id="cite_ref-Dru_43-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dru-43"><span>[</span>43<span>]</span></a></sup> Thus, the state-church political structure is offensive and detrimental to individuals, since anyone can become "Christian" without knowing what it means to be Christian. It is also detrimental to the religion itself since it reduces Christianity to a mere fashionable tradition adhered to by unbelieving "believers", a "herd mentality" of the population, so to speak.<sup id="cite_ref-105" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-105"><span>[</span>105<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard always stressed the importance of the conscience and the use of it. Everyone has a conscience no matter how great or how small.</p>

But this point is-the human heart: and as he ever reflects this changing heart in the eternal unchangeable, in ‘that’ "which became flesh and dwelt among us," and as he amidst his wearisome logical wanderings often says divine things, he has found in the gay, lively Copenhagen not a small public, and that principally of the ladies.

<p>In 1855, the Danish National Church published his obituary. Kierkegaard did have an impact there judging from the following quote from their article:</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"The fatal fruits which Dr. Kierkegaard show to arise from the union of Church and State, have strengthened the scruples of many of the believing laity, who now feel that they can remain no longer in the Church, because thereby they are in communion with unbelievers, for there is no ecclesiastical discipline. Thus, the desire of leaving the Church becomes increasingly strengthened among them. They wish to see J. Lursen (the reader) ordained. One of his friends has lately declared in their journal, that pious laymen are more fit to ordain ministers than the unbelieving priests.

Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783-1872)</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Changes did occur in the administration of the Church and these changes were linked to Kierkegaard's writings. The Church noted that dissent was "something foreign to the national mind." On 5 April 1855 the Church enacted new policies: "every member of a congregation is free to attend the ministry of any clergyman, and is not, as formerly, bound to the one whose parishioner he is". In March 1857, compulsory infant <a href="/wiki/Baptism" title="Baptism">baptism</a> was abolished. Debates sprang up over the King's position as the head of the Church and over whether to adopt a constitution. <a href="/wiki/Nikolaj_Frederik_Severin_Grundtvig" title="Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig" class="mw-redirect">Grundtvig</a> objected to having any written rules. Immediately following this announcement the "agitation occasioned by Kierkegaard" was mentioned.

<p>Hans Martensen wrote a monograph about Kierkegaard in 1856, a year after his death<sup id="cite_ref-109" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-109"><span>[</span>109<span>]</span></a></sup> (untranslated) and mentioned him extensively in <i>Christian Ethics</i>, published in 1871.<sup id="cite_ref-110" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-110"><span>[</span>110<span>]</span></a></sup> "Kierkegaard's assertion is therefore perfectly justifiable, that with the category of "the individual" the cause of Christianity must stand and fall; that, without this category, <a href="/wiki/Pantheism" title="Pantheism">Pantheism</a> had conquered unconditionally. From this, at a glance, it may be seen that Kierkegaard ought to have made common cause with those philosophic and theological writers who specially desired to promote the principle of <a href="/wiki/Personality_psychology" title="Personality psychology">Personality</a> as opposed to Pantheism. This is, however, far from the case. For those views which upheld the category of existence and personality, in opposition to this abstract idealism, did not do this in the sense of an either—or, but in that of a both—and. They strove to establish the unity of existence and idea, which may be specially seen from the fact that they desired system and totality. Martensen accused Kierkegaard and <a href="/wiki/Alexandre_Vinet" title="Alexandre Vinet">Alexandre Vinet</a> of not giving society its due. He said both of them put the individual above society, and in so doing, above the Church.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_106-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-106"><span>[</span>106<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-111" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-111"><span>[</span>111<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

August Strindberg (1849-1912) from Sweden</div>
</div>

<p><a href="/wiki/August_Strindberg" title="August Strindberg">August Strindberg</a> was influenced by the Danish individualistic philosopher Kierkegaard while a student at <a href="/wiki/Uppsala_University" title="Uppsala University">Uppsala University</a> (1867-1870) and according to Edwin Bjorkman credited him as well as <a href="/wiki/Henry_Thomas_Buckle" title="Henry Thomas Buckle">Henry Thomas Buckle</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eduard_von_Hartmann" title="Eduard von Hartmann" class="mw-redirect">Eduard von Hartmann</a> with shaping his artistic form until he was strong enough to stand wholly on his own feet."<sup id="cite_ref-112" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-112"><span>[</span>112<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Several of Kierkegaard's works were translated into German from 1861 onward, including excerpts from <i>Practice in Christianity</i> (1872), from <i>Fear and Trembling</i> and <i>Concluding Unscientific Postscript</i> (1874), <i>Four Upbuilding Discourses</i> and <i>Christian Discourses</i> (1875), and <i>The Lillis of the Field and the Birds of the Air</i> (1876) according to <i>Kierkegaard's International Reception: Northern and Western Europe: Toma I</i>, by John Stewart, see p. 388ff'<sup id="cite_ref-113" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-113"><span>[</span>113<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p><a href="/wiki/Otto_Pfleiderer" title="Otto Pfleiderer">Otto Pfleiderer</a> in <i>The Philosophy of Religion: On the Basis of Its History</i> (1887), claimed that Kierkegaard presented an anti-rational view of Christianity. He went on to assert that the ethical side of a human being has to disappear completely in his one-sided view of faith as the highest good. He wrote, "Kierkegaard can only find true Christianity in entire renunciation of the world, in the following of Christ in lowliness and suffering especially when met by hatred and persecution on the part of the world. Hence his passionate <a href="/wiki/Polemic" title="Polemic">polemic</a> against ecclesiastical Christianity, which he says has fallen away from Christ by coming to a peaceful understanding with the world and conforming itself to the world’s life. True Christianity, on the contrary, is constant polemical <a href="/wiki/Pathos" title="Pathos">pathos</a>, a battle against reason, nature, and the world; its commandment is enmity with the world; its way of life is the death of the naturally human.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_106-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-106"><span>[</span>106<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-114" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-114"><span>[</span>114<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>An article from an 1889 dictionary of religion revealed a good idea of how Kierkegaard was regarded at that time.</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"Having never left his native city more than a few days at a time, excepting once, when he went to Germany to study Schelling's philosophy. He was the most original thinker and theological philosopher the North ever produced. His fame has been steadily growing since his death, and he bids fair to become the leading religio-philosophical light of Germany, not only his theological, but also his aesthetic works have of late become the subject of universal study in Europe. (...) Søren Kierkegaard’s writings abound in psychological observations and experiences, great penetration and dexterous experimentations, all of which enable him to speak of that which but few know and fewer still can express, his diction is noble, his dialectics refined and brilliant; scarcely a page of his can be found which is not rich in poetic sentiment and passionate though pure enthusiasm. It is generally conceded that his literary productions overflow with intellectual wonders, still it must be said that he is often more fascinating and seductive than convincing. He defined his task to be 'to call attention to Christianity', to make himself an instrument to summon people to the truly Human. Ideal or true Christianity, so little known, as he claimed, and to which he wanted to call attention, is neither a theory, scientific or otherwise, but a life and a mode of existence; a life which nature can neither define nor teach. It is an existence rooted wholly in the beyond, though it must be realized in actual life. Christian truth is not and cannot be the subject of science, for it is not objective, but purely subjective. He does not deny the value of objective science; he admits its use and necessity in a real world, but he utterly discards any claims it may lay to the spiritual relations of the Christian—relations which are and can be only subjective, personal, and individual. Defined, his perception is this, "Subjectivity is the truth"—a doubtful proposition, and only true with regard to the One who could say about himself, "I am the truth." Rightly understood, it is the speculative principle of Protestantism; but wrongly conceived, it leads to a denial of the church idea. The main element of this philosophy would not have met with any determined opposition had Kierkegaard moderated his language. As it was he defiantly declared war against all speculation as a source of Christianity, and opposed those who seek to speculate on faith—as was the case in his day and before—thereby striving to get an insight into the truths of revelation. Speculation, he claimed, leads to a fall, and to a falsification of the truth."<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_106-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-106"><span>[</span>106<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-115" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-115"><span>[</span>115<span>]</span></a></sup></div>

Nietzsche in 1861</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>On 11 January 1888 Brandes wrote the following to Nietzsche, "There is a Northern writer whose works would interest you, if they were but translated, Soren Kierkegaard. He lived from 1813 to 1855, and is in my opinion one of the profoundest psychologists to be met with anywhere. A little book which I have written about him (the translation published at Leipzig in 1879) gives no exhaustive idea of his genius, for the book is a kind of polemical tract written with the purpose of checking his influence. It is, nevertheless, from a <a href="/wiki/Psychological" title="Psychological" class="mw-redirect">psychological</a> <a href="/wiki/Narrative_mode" title="Narrative mode">point of view</a>, the finest work I have published." (p.&#160;325) Nietzsche wrote back that he would "tackle Kierkegaard’s psychological problems" (p.&#160;327) and then Brandes asked if he could get a copy of everything Nietzsche had published. (p.&#160;343) so he could spread his "propaganda." (p.&#160;348, 360-361) <sup id="cite_ref-122" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-122"><span>[</span>122<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

<blockquote>
<p>However, Kierkegaard does draw very essential conclusions from his understanding of Christianity. He didn't have any "doctrines" from which to draw conclusions. This is a sample of what he wrote about relationships. "Is it being in a <a href="/wiki/Interpersonal_relationship" title="Interpersonal relationship">relationship</a> if one at every moment seems to begin all over to enter into the relationship; is it loving the person you see if you at every moment look at him, testing, as if it were the first time you saw him? If a person is to fulfill the duty in loving to love the people he sees, then he must not only find among actual people those he loves, but he must root out all <a href="/wiki/Equivocation" title="Equivocation">equivocation</a> and fastidiousness in loving them so that in earnestness and truth he loves them as they are and in earnestness and truth takes hold of the task: to find the once given or chosen object loveable. By this we do not mean to recommend a childish infatuation with the beloved’s accidental characteristics, still less a misplaced sentimental indulgence. Far from it, the earnestness consists in this, that the relationship itself will with integrated power fight against the imperfection, overcome the defect, and remove the heterogeneity. This is earnestness; fastidiousness makes the relationship itself equivocal. ... You see the defect, but the fact that your relationship then becomes more inward shows that you love the person in whom you see the defect or the weakness or the imperfection. Just as there are hypocritical tears, a hypocritical sighing and complaining about the world, so also there is a hypocritical sorrow over the beloved’s weaknesses and imperfections.... Although we human beings are all imperfect, we very rarely see the healthy, strong, capable love that is designed for loving the more imperfect persons, that is, the people we see."</p>

James' favorite quote from Kierkegaard came from Høffding: "We live forwards but we understand backwards". He wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We live forward, we understand backward, said a Danish writer; and to understand life by concepts is to arrest its movement, cutting it up into bits as if with scissors, and, immobilizing these in our logical <a class="external text" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/herbarium">herbarium</a> where, comparing them as dried specimens, we can ascertain which of them statically includes or excludes which other. This treatment supposes life to have already accomplished itself, for the concepts, being so many views taken after the fact, are retrospective and post mortem. Nevertheless we can draw conclusions from them and project them into the future. We cannot learn from them how life made itself go, or how it will make itself go; but, on the supposition that its ways of making itself go are unchanging, we can calculate what positions of imagined arrest it will exhibit hereafter under given conditions. William James, <i>A Pluralistic Universe</i>, 1909, p. 244<sup id="cite_ref-125" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-125"><span>[</span>125<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Høffding had written it this way:</p>
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<p>We understand only what has already taken place; knowledge comes after experience. We cognize towards the past-but we live towards the future. This opposition between the past and the future accounts for the tension of life and impresses us with the irrationality of being. The denial of the reality of time by abstract speculation is the thing that constitutes the thorn in the problem of knowledge. Harald Hoffding, <i>A Brief History of Modern Philosophy.</i> p. 202</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is how Kierkegaard actually wrote in 1843 and how Morris Raphael Cohen used it in 1954 regarding David F. Swenson, who translated many of Kierkegaard's works in the first part of the twentieth century;</p>
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<blockquote>
<p>"It is quite true what philosophy says; that life must be understood backwards. But then one forgets the other principle: that it must be lived forwards. Which principle, the more one thinks it through, ends exactly with the thought that temporal life can never properly be understood precisely because I can at no instant find complete rest in which to adopt a position: backwards." Soren Kierkegaard, Journals IV A 164 (1843)</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Swenson’s general outlook has been strongly influenced by the late 19th century Danish thinker, Kierkegaard, an original philosopher as well as a most interesting personality, little known in English-speaking countries but very popular in Germany. Uncertainty, unrest and risk are essential to human existence. From this insecurity arise fundamental beliefs that are genuinely personal, and that are not merely a matter of evidence but of adventurous assertion. We live forward but we think backward. The peace and knowledge brought by thought are continually imperiled by the dangers and novelties of sheer living. All the more does the “chief glory” of man’s life lie in the sense of wonder and enthusiasm with which he faces the unknown. We literally stake our lives upon our belief in what future experience will be. Our very metaphysical assumptions, as well as the highest principles of reason are, after all, when applied, articles of faith. <i>American Thought: A Critical Sketch</i>, <a href="/wiki/Morris_Raphael_Cohen" title="Morris Raphael Cohen">Morris Raphael Cohen</a>, Felix S.

<p>One thing James did have in common with Kierkegaard was respect for the single individual.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A crowd is indeed made up of single individuals; it must therefore be in everyone's power to become what he is, a single individual; no one is prevented from being a single individual, no one, unless he prevents himself by becoming many. To become a crowd, to gather a crowd around oneself, is on the contrary to distinguish life from life; even the most well-meaning one who talks about that, can easily offend a single individual. Soren Kierkegaard, <i>On the Dedication to "That Single Individual"</i></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Individuality outruns all classification, yet we insist on classifying every one we meet under some general label. As these heads usually suggest prejudicial associations to some hearer or other, the life of philosophy largely consists of resentments at the classing, and complaints of being misunderstood. But there are signs of clearing up for which both Oxford and Harvard are partly to be thanked. <i>A Pluralistic Universe'</i>, William James, 1909 p. 3-4<sup id="cite_ref-127" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-127"><span>[</span>127<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

<p><a href="/wiki/Friedrich_von_H%C3%BCgel" title="Friedrich von Hügel">Friedrich von Hügel</a> wrote about Kierkegaard in his 1913 book, <i>Eternal life: a study of its implications and applications</i>, where he said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Kierkegaard, the deep, melancholy, strenuous, utterly uncompromising Danish religionist, is a spiritual brother of the great Frenchman, <a href="/wiki/Blaise_Pascal" title="Blaise Pascal">Blaise Pascal</a>, and of the striking English <a href="/wiki/Tract_(literature)" title="Tract (literature)">Tractarian</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hurrell_Froude" title="Hurrell Froude">Hurrell Froude</a>, who died young and still full of crudity, yet left an abiding mark upon all who knew him well. Kierkegaard is specially interesting in that he, otherwise a modern of the moderns, is as massively ontological in his religion as any ancient; and that the tension of his spiritual life arises, not from any doubt as to whether or what God is, but from the keenest certainty both that God is the very source and home of man's spirit, and, yet, is utterly unlike this human spirit. "What the conception of God, or of man's eternal beatitude, is to effect in man is that he shall remodel his entire existence according to it; but by this remodelling (sic) man dies to his entire immediacy. As the fish lies out of its element when left upon the sand, so is the religious man caught in his absolute conception of God; for such absoluteness is not directly the element of a finite being. No wonder, then, if, for the Jew, to see God meant death; and if, for the Heathen, to stand in relation to God portended madness. For if the conception of God is our one absolute help, it is also the sole conception capable of absolutely showing to man his utter helplessness" ("<a href="/wiki/Concluding_Unscientific_Postscript" title="Concluding Unscientific Postscript" class="mw-redirect">Final Unscientific Postscript to the ' Philosophical Crumbs</a>,' " chap. iv.

<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<p>There are two volumes from the pen of <a href="/wiki/Harald_H%C3%B8ffding" title="Harald Høffding">H. Hoffding</a>, both of which are to be praised on account of the fresh and rich language and the clear, incisive exposition. They treat of Soren Kierkegaard, the poet-philosopher of melancholy, of abrupt transitions, of paradoxes, the preacher of the ‘true’ Christianity, full of suffering, and to which the world is a <a href="/wiki/Social_alienation" title="Social alienation">stranger</a>; and <a href="/wiki/Rousseau" title="Rousseau" class="mw-redirect">Rousseau</a>, the herald of humanity, good as it is by nature, the despiser of men, bad, artificial, and over refined as culture had made them. In both these men, the dependence of philosophical thinking upon the <a href="/wiki/Individual" title="Individual">individual</a> <a href="/wiki/Personality" title="Personality">personality</a> and <a href="/wiki/Experience" title="Experience">experience</a> of the thinker is strongly marked. An understanding of either one, therefore, must be based upon an analysis of his personality; and the <a href="/wiki/Historian" title="Historian">historian</a> must above all things-as is the case with Hoffding in a high degree-possess <a href="/wiki/Psychological" title="Psychological" class="mw-redirect">psychological</a> insight and the ability to enter into another’s personality and to feel and think from his standpoint. But it is just this which makes the subjectivity of the historian paramount, and thereby increases the probability of contradiction. That which is to one psychologically possible, or seems absolutely necessary, is unthinkable to another on account of his mental peculiarity. Thus, for instance, Chr. Schrempf, takes an entirely different standpoint in regard to Kierkegaard. He thinks that, if one regards him only from the point of view which Hoffding adopts, the great Dane can neither be rightly understood nor appreciated. Schremph-in opposition to Hoffding-agrees with Kierkegaard in the position that melancholy, <a href="/wiki/The_Concept_of_Anxiety" title="The Concept of Anxiety">‘dread’ of oneself, of the world, and of God</a> is the dominating frame of mind of every man who has become intensively <a href="/wiki/Conscious" title="Conscious" class="mw-redirect">conscious</a> of himself. I, for my part, must take exception to the characterization of Rousseau. The pathological element in him is much too little emphasized. Kierkegaard may have been more strongly encumbered in a certain sense by the influence of heredity, still he possesses what Rousseau completely lacks, namely, a great strength of <a href="/wiki/Volition_(psychology)" title="Volition (psychology)">will</a> and a strong power of <a href="/wiki/Concentration" title="Concentration">concentration</a>. <i>The Philosophical Review</i>, Volume I, Ginn and Company 1892 p. 282-283<sup id="cite_ref-136" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-136"><span>[</span>136<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

<p>The <a href="/wiki/Leap_of_faith" title="Leap of faith">leap of faith</a> is his conception of how an individual would believe in God or how a person would act in love. Faith is not a decision based on evidence that, say, certain beliefs about God are true or a certain person is worthy of love. No such evidence could ever be enough to completely justify the kind of total commitment involved in true religious faith or romantic love. Faith involves making that commitment anyway. Kierkegaard thought that to have faith is at the same time to have doubt. So, for example, for one to truly have faith in God, one would also have to doubt one's beliefs about God; the doubt is the rational part of a person's thought involved in weighing evidence, without which the faith would have no real substance. Someone who does not realize that Christian doctrine is inherently doubtful and that there can be no objective certainty about its truth does not have faith but is merely credulous. For example, it takes no faith to believe that a pencil or a table exists, when one is looking at it and touching it. In the same way, to believe or have faith in God is to know that one has no perceptual or any other access to God, and yet still has faith in God.<sup id="cite_ref-162" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-162"><span>[</span>162<span>]</span></a></sup> Kierkegaard writes, "doubt is conquered by faith, just as it is faith which has brought doubt into the world".<sup id="cite_ref-163" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-163"><span>[</span>163<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-164" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-164"><span>[</span>164<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Kierkegaard also stresses the importance of the self, and the self's relation to the world, as being grounded in self-reflection and introspection. He argued in <i><a href="/wiki/Concluding_Unscientific_Postscript_to_Philosophical_Fragments" title="Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments">Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments</a></i> that "subjectivity is truth" and "truth is subjectivity." This has to do with a distinction between what is objectively true and an individual's subjective relation (such as indifference or commitment) to that truth. People who in <i>some sense</i> believe the same things may relate to those beliefs quite differently. Two individuals may both believe that many of those around them are poor and deserve help, but this knowledge may lead only one of them to decide to actually help the poor.<sup id="cite_ref-165" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-165"><span>[</span>165<span>]</span></a></sup> This is how Kierkegaard put it:</p>
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
<p>What a priceless invention statistics are, what a glorious fruit of culture, what a characteristic counterpart to the <i>de te narrator fabula</i> [the tale is told to you] of antiquity. <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Schleiermacher" title="Friedrich Schleiermacher">Schleiermacher</a> so enthusiastically declares that knowledge does not perturb religiousness, and that the religious person does not sit safeguarded by a lightning rod and scoff at God; yet with the help of statistical tables one laughs at all of life. And just as <a href="/wiki/Archimedes" title="Archimedes">Archimedes</a> was absorbed in his calculations and did not notice that he was being put to death, so, in my opinion, <a href="/wiki/Ludwig_B%C3%B6rne" title="Ludwig Börne">Börne</a> is absorbed in collecting <a href="/wiki/Statistics" title="Statistics">statistics</a> and does not notice-but what am I saying! Oh, a person who is far from being as sensitive as B. will surely discover when life becomes too difficult for him, but as long as a person is himself saved from misfortune (for B. surely can easily save himself from sin by means of a non-Socratic ignorance) he certainly owes it to his good living to have means with which to keep horror away. After all, a person can shut the door on the poor, and if someone should starve to death, then he can just look at a collection of statistical tables, see how many die every year of hunger-and he is comforted.</p>

<p>Since I am not totally unfamiliar with what has been said and written about Christianity, I could presumably say a thing or two about it. I shall, however, not do so here but merely repeat that there is one thing I shall beware of saying about it: that it is true to a certain degree. It is indeed just possible that Christianity is the truth; it is indeed just possible that someday there will be a judgment in which the separation will hinge on the relation of inwardness to Christianity. Suppose that someone stepped forward who had to say, "Admittedly I have not believed, but I have so honored Christianity that I have spent every hour of my life pondering it." Or suppose that someone came forward of whom the accuser has to say, "He has persecuted the Christians," and the accused one responded, "Yes, I acknowledge it; Christianity has so inflamed my soul that, simply because I realized its terrible power, I have wanted nothing else than to root it out of the world." Or suppose that someone came forward of whom the accuser had to say, "He has renounced Christianity," and the accused one responded, "Yes, it is true, for I perceived that Christianity was such a power that if I gave it one finger it would take all of me, and I could not belong to it completely." But suppose now, that eventually an active assistant professor came along at a hurried and bustling pace and said something like this, "I am not like those three; I have not only believed but have even explained Christianity and have shown that what was proclaimed by the apostles and appropriated in the first centuries is true only to a certain degree. On the other hand, through speculative understanding I have shown how it is the true truth, and for that reason I must request suitable remuneration for my meritorious services to Christianity. Of these four, which position would be the most terrible?</p>

<p>Kierkegaard primarily discusses subjectivity with regard to religious matters. As already noted, he argues that doubt is an element of faith and that it is impossible to gain any objective certainty about religious doctrines such as the existence of God or the life of Christ. The most one could hope for would be the conclusion that it is probable that the Christian doctrines are true, but if a person were to believe such doctrines only to the degree they seemed <i>likely</i> to be true, he or she would not be genuinely religious at all. Faith consists in a subjective relation of absolute commitment to these doctrines.<sup id="cite_ref-Conclude_166-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Conclude-166"><span>[</span>166<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

<p>Levinas' main attack on Kierkegaard focused on his ethical and religious stages, especially in <i><a href="/wiki/Fear_and_Trembling" title="Fear and Trembling">Fear and Trembling</a></i>. Levinas criticises the leap of faith by saying this suspension of the ethical and leap into the religious is a type of violence. He states:</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"Kierkegaardian violence begins when existence is forced to abandon the ethical stage in order to embark on the religious stage, the domain of belief. But belief no longer sought external justification. Even internally, it combined communication and isolation, and hence violence and passion. That is the origin of the relegation of ethical phenomena to secondary status and the contempt of the ethical foundation of being which has led, through Nietzsche, to the amoralism of recent philosophies."<sup id="cite_ref-170" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-170"><span>[</span>170<span>]</span></a></sup></div>
</blockquote>
<p>Levinas pointed to the <a href="/wiki/Judeo-Christian" title="Judeo-Christian">Judeo-Christian</a> belief that it was God who first commanded <a href="/wiki/Abraham" title="Abraham">Abraham</a> to sacrifice <a href="/wiki/Isaac" title="Isaac">Isaac</a> and that an angel commanded Abraham to stop. If Abraham were truly in the religious realm, he would not have listened to the angel's command and should have continued to kill Isaac. To Levinas, "transcending ethics" seems like a loophole to excuse would-be murderers from their crime and thus is unacceptable.<sup id="cite_ref-Katz_171-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Katz-171"><span>[</span>171<span>]</span></a></sup> One interesting consequence of Levinas' critique is that it seemed to reveal that Levinas viewed God as a projection of inner ethical desire rather than an absolute moral agent.<sup id="cite_ref-172" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-172"><span>[</span>172<span>]</span></a></sup> However, one of Kierkegaard's central points in <i>Fear and Trembling</i> was that the religious sphere <i>entails</i> the ethical sphere; Abraham had faith that God is always in one way or another ethically in the right, even when He commands someone to kill. Therefore, deep down, Abraham had faith that God, as an absolute moral authority, would never allow him in the end to do something as ethically heinous as murdering his own child, and so he passed the test of blind obedience versus moral choice.</p>
<p>Sartre objected to the <a href="/wiki/Existence_of_God" title="Existence of God">existence of God</a>: If existence precedes essence, it follows from the meaning of the term sentient that a sentient being cannot be complete or perfect.

<p>Sartre agreed with Kierkegaard's analysis of Abraham undergoing anxiety (Sartre calls it anguish), but claimed that God told Abraham to do it.

<p>Kierkegaard predicted his posthumous fame, and foresaw that his work would become the subject of intense study and research. In his journals, he wrote:</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"What the age needs is not a genius—it has had geniuses enough, but a martyr, who in order to teach men to obey would himself be obedient unto death. What the age needs is awakening. And therefore someday, not only my writings but my whole life, all the intriguing mystery of the machine will be studied and studied. I never forget how God helps me and it is therefore my last wish that everything may be to his honour."<sup id="cite_ref-194" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-194"><span>[</span>194<span>]</span></a></sup></div>
</blockquote>
<p>In 1784 <a href="/wiki/Immanuel_Kant" title="Immanuel Kant">Immanuel Kant</a> challenged the thinkers of Europe to think for themselves.<sup id="cite_ref-195" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-195"><span>[</span>195<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a proportion of men, long after nature has released them from alien guidance (natura-liter maiorennes), nonetheless gladly remain in lifelong immaturity, and why it is so easy for others to establish themselves as their guardians. It is so easy to be immature. If I have a book to serve as my understanding, a pastor to serve as my conscience, a physician to determine my diet for me, and so on, I need not exert myself at all. I need not think, if only I can pay: others will readily undertake the irksome work for me. The guardians who have so benevolently taken over the supervision of men have carefully seen to it that the far greatest part of them (including the entire fair sex) regard taking the step to maturity as very dangerous, not to mention difficult. Having first made their domestic livestock dumb, and having carefully made sure that these docile creatures will not take a single step without the go-cart to which they are harnessed, these guardians then show them the danger that threatens them, should they attempt to walk alone. Now this danger is not actually so great, for after falling a few times they would in the end certainly learn to walk; but an example of this kind makes men timid and usually frightens them out of all further attempts."</div>
</blockquote>
<p>In 1851 <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer" title="Arthur Schopenhauer">Arthur Schopenhauer</a> said the same as Kierkegaard had said about the reading public in <i>Either/Or Part I</i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Prefaces" title="Prefaces">Prefaces</a></i>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I have the courage, I believe, to doubt everything; I have the courage, I believe, to fight with everything; but I have not the courage to know anything; not the courage to possess, to own anything. Most people complain that the world is so prosaic, that life is not like romance, where opportunities are always so favorable. I complain that life is not like romance, where one had hard-hearted parents and nixies and trolls to fight, and enchanted princesses to free. What are all such enemies taken together, compared with the pale, bloodless, tenacious, nocturnal shapes with which I fight, and to whom I give life and substance?" <i>Either/Or I</i>, Swenson p. 23</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>It is incredible what a different effect is produced upon the mind by thinking for oneself, as compared with reading. It carries on and intensifies that original difference in the nature of two minds which leads the one to think and the other to read. What I mean is that reading forces alien thoughts upon the mind—thoughts which are as foreign to the drift and temper in which it may be for the moment, as the seal is to the wax on which it stamps its imprint. The mind is thus entirely under compulsion from without; it is driven to think this or that, though for the moment it may not have the slightest impulse or inclination to do so. Arthur Schopenhauer, <i>On Thinking for Oneself</i><sup id="cite_ref-196" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-196"><span>[</span>196<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
</blockquote>
<p>In 1854 Søren Kierkegaard wrote a note to "My <a href="/wiki/Two_Upbuilding_Discourses,_1843" title="Two Upbuilding Discourses, 1843">Reader</a>" of a similar nature.</p>
<blockquote class="templatequote">
<div class="Bug6200">"When a man ventures out so decisively as I have done, and upon a subject moreover which affects so profoundly the whole of life as does religion, it is to be expected of course that everything will be done to counteract his influence, also by misrepresenting, falsifying what he says, and at the same time his character will in every way be at the mercy of men who count that they have no duty towards him but that everything is allowable. Now, as things commonly go in this world, the person attacked usually gets busy at once to deal with every accusation, every falsification, every unfair statement, and in this way is occupied early and late in counterattacking the attack. This I have no intention of doing. ... I propose to deal with the matter differently, I propose to go rather more slowly in counteracting all this falsification and misrepresentation, all these lies and slanders, all the prate and twaddle. Partly because I learn from the New Testament that the occurrence of such things is a sign that one is on the right road, so that obviously I ought not to be exactly in a hurry to get rid of it, unless I wish as soon as possible to get on the wrong road. And partly because I learn from the New Testament that what may temporally be called a vexation, from which according to temporal concepts one might try to be delivered, is eternally of value, so that obviously I ought not to be exactly in a hurry to try to escape, if I do not wish to hoax myself with regard to the eternal. This is the way I understand it; and now I come to the consequence which ensues for thee. If thou really has ever had an idea that I am in the service of something true—well then, occasionally there shall be done on my part what is necessary, but only what is strictly necessary to thee, in order that , if thou wilt exert thyself and pay due attention, thou shalt be able to withstand the falsifications and misrepresentations of what I say, and all the attacks upon my character—but thy indolence, dear reader, I will not encourage. If thou does imagine that I am a lackey, thou hast never been my reader; if thou really art my reader, thou wilt understand that I regard it as my duty to thee that thou art put to some effort, if thou art not willing to have the falsifications and misrepresentations, the lies and slanders, wrest from thee the idea that I am in the service of something true."<sup id="cite_ref-197" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-197"><span>[</span>197<span>]</span></a></sup></div>

<li id="cite_note-164"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-164">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Elsewhere, Kierkegaard uses the Faith/Offense dichotomy. In this dichotomy, doubt is the middle ground between faith and taking offense. Offense, in his terminology, describes the threat faith poses to the rational mind. He uses Jesus' words in Matthew 11:6: <i>"And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me"</i>. In <i><a href="/wiki/Practice_in_Christianity" title="Practice in Christianity">Practice in Christianity</a></i>, Kierkegaard writes: "Just as the concept of "faith" is an altogether distinctively Christian term, so in turn is "offense" an altogether distinctively Christian term relating to faith. The possibility of offense is the crossroad, or it is like standing at the crossroad. From the possibility of offense, one turns either to offense or to faith, <i><b>but one never comes to faith except from the possibility of offense</b></i>" (p. 80). In the footnote, he writes, "in the works of some psuedonymous [<i><a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>?</i>] writers it has been pointed out that in modern philosophy there is a confused discussion of doubt where the discussion should have been about despair. Therefore one has been unable to control or govern doubt either in scholarship or in life. "Despair," however, promptly points in the right direction by placing the relation under the rubric of personality (the single individual) and the ethical. But just as there is a confused discussion of "doubt" instead of a discussion of "despair", So also the practice has been to use the category "doubt" where the discussion ought to be about "offense." <i><b>The relation, the relation of personality to Christianity, is not to doubt or to believe, but to be offended or to believe</b></i>. All modern philosophy, both ethically, and Christianly, is based upon frivolousness. Instead of deterring and calling people to order by speaking of being despairing and being offended, it has waved to them and invited them to become conceited by doubting and having doubted. Modern philosophy, being abstract, is floating in metaphysical indeterminateness. Instead of explaining this about itself and then directing people (individual persons) to the ethical, the religious, the existential, philosophy has given the appearance that people are able to speculate themselves out of their own skin, as they so very prosaically say, into pure appearance." (<i>Practice in Christianity</i>, trans. Hong 1991, p. 80.) He writes that the person is either offended that Christ came as a man, and that God is too high to be a lowly man who is actually capable of doing very little to resist. Or Jesus, a man, thought himself too high to consider himself God (blasphemy). Or the historical offense where God a lowly man comes into collision with an established order. Thus, this offensive paradox is highly resistant to rational thought.</span></li>
