Notes: 00:00 What I really want is to find the truth which is true for me. Kierkegaard's journals 5:00 Biography of Kierkegaard "the Great Earthquake", "father cursed God at 11 years of age couldn't forget until death at his 70s" 11:00 Relationship with Regina Olsen 16:00 His bibliography/pseudonymous work. Make the reader find the truth himself 18:55 There are three stages: aesthetic, ethical, religious. His book: Either/Or exemplifies The Aesthetic ("A") and the Ethical (Judge Williams). *Aesthetic*: Don Juanism, life of "immediacy", a life of self indulgency and self centered pleasure. "A" develops a rotation method which is an intensive cultivation of amusement rather than extensive (changing the crops instead of using more of the same crop fields). He finds pleasure not in listening to boring philosophical lectures, but in focusing on the lecturer's beads of sweat. 30:18 Section of Either/Or. Diary of the seducer. A disturbing account of "spiritual rape" found by "A" written by a so called Johannes. May reflect Kierkegaard's break with Regina. But most importantly, it is a warning to aesthetes. 35:10 The Ethical (Judge Williams): Traditionalist, marriage, duty. He argues that the aesthete is bound to fall into despair, as he is constantly seeking enjoyment. The ethicist who does not focus on pleasure, but duty, actually receives more pleasure, beating the aesthete in his own game. "Happiness is one of those things that we're much more likely to find if we are not looking for it". Marriage is the ethicist's response to love. One enjoys and loves even more than the aesthete. When one chooses, one chooses absolutely. For choosing one thing, you dismiss all the other possibilities. "A's" Either/Or: Do it or don't do it, you'll regret it. Judge Williams' Either/Or: Aesthetic or Ethical. The latter being best. 46:00 Judge Williams mixed the religous into the ethical stage. Kierkegaard opposes this. Exemplified in his Fear and Trembling (Ethical/Religious stages). The biblical story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac (who was saved at the last moment by God). In the Ethical, he is a murder. In the Religious, he is the father of faith and knight of faith by virtue of the absurd in believing the impossible, standing in an absolute relation to the absolute "God". A critique of the ethical as it fills all of existence and even the religious sphere. It denies a relationship with God, and being ready to do anything he demands of you. One must choose absolutely to be in one concrete sphere (Aesthetic, Ethical, Religious). Johannes argues that a murderer is not Abraham. Only one who has faith can be approximate to Abraham. Abraham must not hate Isaac as that'd be murder (ethical stage) and not a sacrifice to God, since God wouldn't consider it a sacrifice if he does not care about his son (religious stage). It only converts to sacrifice (not murder) when Abraham loves Isaac very much. It is the Paradox of one's love of God and his son. This is known as the "teleological suspension of the ethical" 57:50 Book: Repetition published along with Fear and Trembling. Explores the theme presented in the latter further. Abraham had faith that he'd get Isaac back, hence the father of faith.

Beautiful, this is truly beautiful. I have recently started to delve back into the philosophical understandings of existentialism and this is the best material I have ever discovered other than the original texts. Job well done 🙏

CHARLTON HEASTON. Charlton Heaston, to the desappointment of many rationalists, is the proper man to narrate a such controvertial subject in Christian theology. He claimed to be gifted, a special man to be allowed to walk on the mount Sina, where the god of the Jew walked, as hemself said in awe. That was the time of making the movie, The Ten Commandments. And that is a matter of psychosis !

according to SK - the leap of faith away from the universal /ethical to the individual standing in absolution relationship to the Absolute liberates the existent individual from the rotation method of temporal pleasure and vain repitition hence moving in process toward the most passionate inwardness that sustains faith .
