I believe that if Kierkegaard's philosophy is an existential philosophy as its name implies, the status of the principle of subjectivity itself, such as subjective passion and subjective decision, must ultimately be questioned. Just as the students who threw themselves into the leftist movements of the 1960s and 1970s were forced to self-criticize the fact that they were enrolled in universities, the central institutions of the state system that they criticized, no, even before they got into such leftist thinking, as they couldn't stand their sloppy "go to university first, then think about it later" way of life. However, even in Kierkegaard's final position, "Religiosity B,"this subjective passion was not questioned in a self-denying way. This may be because Kierkegaard believed that such a subjective will is the power of faith, and that there is no way for faith to be established if one abandons such a will. |
