Either/Or: A Fragment of Life | 
In the old tradition of (Calvinist) theology, Christ was taken as the relative word that could be understood and reasoned with. Everything was a matter of, as he says, starting over every time, using different logical techniques, or perhaps just expressing yourself somehow and motivating yourself to use all means available. The discoveries of this logic is as great as Wittenstein's Tractatus and must be regarded with the same kind of facination.
I have always been shocked by the narrative of Kierkegaard's life; but we realize that it has its consummation in the present. We learn so much from logic, but Kierkegaard's logic is based on a relativity that we recognize in Christianity. Still, we can grow in power: as we learn more, everything becomes more natural, and the truths that we came up with with one logic, get subsumed under a logic that is free from the consequences of that logic.

pickAfter a few months, I've finally finished Either/Or. What an interesting novel. I love the exploration of ethics and aesthetics, and to do it in a novel meant that Kierkegaard was able to explore all his ideas without settling on one choice. #translatedfiction #philosophy
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
