Thanks for your reply, Jim S. I am using the words "objective truth" somewhat differently from Climacus, at least, yes. You're probably right that he...
JimR, you use the phrase "objective truth that can only be subjectively appropriated." Where does K/p discuss this? I think this phrase in fact twists K's use...
JimS, did I answer this question satisfactorily for you. If so perhaps we could go back to my original question. Does love come from beyond humankind, that is...
Don't know if you saw my response to Jim S, but my previous response in this thread addresses your questions. I didn't claim to be using K's language Jim R ...
Consider the following quote from CUP: The dialectic of the beginning must be clarified. The almost amusing thing about it, that the beginning is and then in...
JimR, yes I saw your response to JimS. See below. ... I don't think it does address my question. Perhaps I can sharpen it up. Why are you discussing this on a...
Yep, that's a tough passage, Don. I'll give it a stab. I think the key is "presuppositionless beginning." What you have prior to the system is a somewhat...
Don, I don't need to use K's language to represent K's thought. What I've been insisting on is that K and his more religiously oriented pseudonyms believed...
JimR, you asked: "Do you think K believed that we create God out of nothing by believing in God, or do you think he believed that God exists independently of...
JimR, it seems to me that this is not a very good response for the simple reason you are telling me some differences that appear as moments within the system...
I agree with your point of view on K's belief, Don. That's all I've been saying all along. But if he assumes it in everything that he writes, as I have been...
Don, the way I see it, I am talking about the moment of the appearance of the system. I left my initial post below. K might agree with the notion of doubt as...
JimR, the way I see it Hegel's system was an explanation of everything that left nothing out. The explanation of the religious sphere was for him as much a...
If K did not believe that doubt was the beginning of philosophy, then why is it necessary for me to care about doubt as the beginning of philosophy to...
JimR, but my question is not about doubt but rather thinking. So I will ask the question a different way; What are the circumstances that prevail when a human...
So, what you're telling me, Don, is that when you asked this question: <<Perhaps a small hint: Descartes said that all philosophy begins with doubt. Would K...
Yes, Don, you always revert to this claim when you have nothing else to say. The more productive thing to do would be to explain what -you- are about, since...
JimR, in due time! in due time! But I'm not holding my breath until you get the meaning of existence. Don ... have a ... with ... Hegel ... he ... is ... K...
Good, I'm not holding my breath waiting for you or Kierkegaard or anyone else to give it to me :) I do look forward to your future posts about Kierkegaard,...
JimR, I can see that my last post was not worded well. I did not mean that you didn' know the meaning of existence as such, but that you didn' knowe how K was...
I understand Don, and as usual, you make that claim with no evidence, no quotations, and no argument -- it's a fall-back position when you have nothing else...
JimR, your project as I understand it is as follows. It is to recollect a time when everyone believed and no one was secular, and then to recover that time in...
Don -- Thanks for the reply, my replies are below. ... That's a very bad and careless characterization of my position, Don. Yes, I do believe that Kierkegaard...
Someone on another listserve is looking for the following quotation which has been attributed to Kierkegaard: Hegel would have been the greatest thinker who...
Thanks much, Don. It certainly sounded authentic to me, just depending upon the translator. If I find it before you can get to it, I'll post to the list. Jim...
The person asking the original query answered it: <<Rorty cites this passage in his essay "Philosophy as a transitional genre." I didn't think he gave the...
