I love how humble Kierkegaard is in regarding philosophy. The philosopher is not an expert but must be as a sage, "sages never attempt great deeds all through life Thus they can achieve greatness"
"A philosophy, that does not make an attempt to understand itself, its own activities, its limitations, is not really much of a philosophy, it becomes something like an ideology, a set of algorithms or like a set of instructions on how to do something that has no reflective capacity" - Dr. Gregory Sadler. This was really wise. A great understanding of Kierkegaard. You really are a philosopher!
And along came Lev Shestov saying that Kierkegaard did submit faith under philosophy just as Kierkegaard accused of theologians doing. That is one hard pill to swallow, i've been in process of swallowing it for a year by now, and i will probably keep swallowing it a good while yet. I get his points of Kiekegaard living inside brazen bull like Socrates would, more in nature of Athens than Jerusalem. But still...

Love the Kierkegaard content!
Glad to read it!
What is the difference between objective and subjective reality?

Shestov thought Kierkegaard didn't go far enough
Yeah. He tried but regressed back into philosophy and into ethical. That is my reading of Athens and Jerusalem.
Shestov has a whole work just on Kierkegaard - Kierkegaard and the Existential Philosophy. There used to be an angelfire site that had a copy online
Oh Great! I thought he only wrote of Kierkegaard in Athens and Jerusalem! Have to read that book.
Thanks!
"repelled by the prodigious paradox" 🤔
Indeed! Some paradoxes have more sticking power than others. . .
"love has its priests and poets" 🤔
