Objective: Please give a response to the following post Question 2, Yasmin Razak Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, was one to always be constantly curious and questioning upon the purpose of ones existence. To him, the idea of placing ones trust in God for the promise of salvation and eternal life in heaven was all too great of a theory to possibly be true. He was always, however, overwhelmed with thoughts of his own death. His struggle in faith eventually led him to create and philosophize in his own theory of existentialism, the belief of having a sufficient meaning and purpose to ones life. The two main ideas which laid within the core of Kierkegaard' s existentialism were both that of “subjectivity of truth” and the “leap of faith”. As Wolff suggests, "when Kierkegaard says Truth in Subjectivity, he is denying the ancient philosophical doctrine that the truth of an idea or a statement consists in its conformity to an independent object" (Wolff 308). By this, Kierkegaard means that the truth is a means of full resignation toward a persons beliefs; He did not believe in treating the promise of salvation as merely objective (like the Hegelian system would). By "leap of faith" Kierkegaard is referring to believing in God's promise even though you can not prove it to be true, not even to yourself, but to believe in it regardless. But in performing this leap of faith, we must absolutely...

Question 2, Yasmin Razak
This post focuses on a central dilemma of Kierkegaard’s, one that remains most
influential about his thoughts and which plagued him most: what to think about thinking. It
describes Kierkegaard’s apologism, where he suspected even his most religious and faithful
thoughts, and thus required philosophical justification for them. This suspicion even infected
his romantic relationships, as in the famous affair with Regine Olsen, in which it seems he
wanted the torment more than the reality. This validity of second order thinking is especially
important when one is a philosopher, and thus required to have philosophical justification for
all beliefs.
Religious faith is a problem in this regard, since there is no logical proof for it. The
fact that he was in favour of Truth in Subjectivity, however, does not automatically mean he
rejected truth in objectivity, or imagined a truth for other things that was not present for
religious thought. For example, deism or Gnosticism, by identifying God with either the
world or knowledge its4elf, would have resolved this issue for him if that were the case. The
Leap of Faith that Kierkegaard speaks...
