tinytherese Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I have to do a paper and group presentation on him in my philosophy class. We've divided up some of the research and I'm focusing on his philosophy concerning his Christian views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Kierkegaard is a friend of mine. Kierkegaard is my friend. I have a friend in Kierkegaard. He's cool but he's got nothing on Mothra imho. Reading Kierkegaard and Nietzsche at the same time is neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 After my last class I am acquainted with him, and while I have found some gems in him, I find most of his work rambling nonsense. I know I am in a minority there, but I can't stand him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I enjoyed reading [i]Fear and Trembling[/i]. I don't agree with what Kierkegaard is trying to get at, but I found it very interesting. I don't think there is a teleological epoche; you can't go [i]beyond[/i] ethics. That's not faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Could be worse. My philosophy teacher was in love with Lonergan. My mother would have said that he talked just to hear his head rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 There definitely are things that he says that the Church wouldn't agree with. For part of the paper I have to bring up objections and I'm thinking of using sources such as the catechism, Fides et Ratio, and or Mere Christianity for that.

MithLuin Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The first two would be better sources, IMO. [i]Mere Christianity[/i] is written in laymen's terms, not using traditional philosophical language. Of course, that makes it a lot easier to read and understand! If you do use it, use it sparingly.
