Partially Examined Life podcast - Kierkegaard - The Sickness Unto Death

[@billdykstra9197]

If you cannot converse about Kierkegaard on his own terms without disregarding his Christianity, you will fail at having a sincere and honest understanding of his views.

[@RocketKirchner]

the only way to understand SK book the sickness unto death is to read the concept of dread -- ''The concept of dread is the possibility of freedom '' . dreading and ignoring that freedom is what Sartre calls ''Bad Faith '' in the secular sense.

I have been interested in Solomon for a while can you recommend some works or articles by him?

[@jlindmusic]

This convo is, ironically, a prime example of Anti-Climacus' notion of offense

[@Prosperousakua]

how so?

[@RocketKirchner]

''God gave me and intellect to destroy intellectuals '' Kierkegaard . the leap of faith is a leap away from the Socratic sphere of ethics and man mad morals to becoming in an ''Absolute relation to the Absolute'' GOD.

"Construct a meaning." So, the "meaning" you construct can't be true, can it? If life is meaningless, then any meaning you "construct" is ultimately a lie. So, the be that sort of human or existentialist is to be a liar.
