Does anyone read Kierkegaard?

[curlyque221]

One of our Gen-Ed requirements for MSU is religion/philosophy. As part of the honors program, I am not allowed to take religion 101 or philosophy 101, but rather a course entitled "Ways of Knowing: HONP 301." The particular course I am taking is cross referenced with a 400-level core class for religion and philosophy students. As my title states...we are studying Kierkegaard.

While the courseload is greuling, I am gaining interest in the subject matter.

Just looking for someone to dicuss Pauline Christianity and sin with...

Any takers?

I was afraid of that.

from what i understand of kiekerguuard, his philosophies, while not modern, did have a large departure from the status quo.

apparently, some of the premier modern physicists of the day, called upon the influences of kiekerguaards outlook on life in conception of the basic blocks of physics-- a transitition from a centralized purposeful world to one based on pointlessness and randomevents.

not that i agree entirely with his outlooks and views, but when you think about the world and uncertainty, you can see how people such as bohr and einstein recreated our conception of matter and existence based on kiekerguuard and others such as nietsche.
