  3. Existential Point Of Views Kierkegaard’s views on life or existence was that it was in all aspects subjective and ambiguous. Kierkegaard believed people lived their lives in two ways: aesthetic and ethical. Aesthetics live there life in search of pleasure while Ethical lives live a very simple life. He believed people should defy the accepted practices of society and if you did that would lead towards a more meaningful life.

  4. Ethical Point-Of-View Kierkegaard valued God before his own ethics and felt that ethics never came before the commands of God Keiredgard also believed that nothing is higher than the ethics of a community He believed that ethics and faith are separate mindsets. Either you live your life by faith or live it by ethics. Kierkegaard insisted that every person had the ethical responsibility of the life that he/she lives in

  5. Spiritual History and Point-Of-View Kierkegaard was a christian and a huge influence on protestant theology in the 20th century. When Kierkegaard first enrolled at the University of Copenhagen, he started out studying theology, but later devoted himself to philosophy and literature. Kierkegaard thought of himself as a religious poet. Kierkegaard was immersed in values such as sin, guilt, suffering, and individual responsibility in his childhood family home through his father. To Kierkegaard the Christian faith wasn’t a matter of ejecting or putting out church dogma, it’s more about individual subjective passion. According to Kierkegaard, Christian dogma demonstrates that are offensive to reason.

  6. Aristotle (384BC-322BC)argued that the group is to blame for sin, not the individual. Kierkegaard is one of many philosophers who argued against him at the time. Johann Georg Hamann (1730-1788)believes that human self-knowledge limited to itself. Kierkegaard outlined his limits of self-knowledge off of Hamann. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)believes that a person moves the country. Kierkegaard believes that the humanity and ethics of a person is brushed aside when dealing with a civil society or a country. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)believes in a universal ethic whereas Kierkegaard believes in an individual ethic. Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775-1854), Kant, and Kierkegaard argued and debated on “possibility.” Socrates (470BC-399BC)separated the individual from the religion, but Kierkegaard did the opposite. 5.
