Would this be an easy or simple read for someone who has never touched a Kierkegaard book?
>>24700845it's very readable
>>24700845It's a fine starting place as any. The Present Age is probably a little better to start with, but Works of Love is also fine. I know we're not supposed to mention reddit, but check out u/ConclusivePostscript. Kierkegaard scholar who doesn't post anymore but made some really excellent primers to SK's bibliography on a few different Christian/philosophy subreddits, I found them very helpful
>>24700845Oh what do we have here? A useless book to be sure. Lil kierke never found any eternal truth so he had to die in becoming. This also means the best he could ever manage was Jesus. I guess he could've always kicked that around. Of course if no one can out-Jesus Jesus fucking Christ then there isn't anymore for him to say right? That damn dualism. Do or do not. Yeah he had one good line but it gets old. Maybe only at parties or something? Oh dear, without any way to test anything I guess this means he agreed with Hegel and was a good Christian, or perhaps he was never a Christian at all? Without reason he wasn't a Christian, just an enthusiast.
>>24700910Is this pasta or you being a retard on purpose?
>>24700920Now we're talking. How are you planning on testing? Does this mean you aren't a Christian either?
