📖 1. Kierkegaard's Subjectivity

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Subjectivity: The idea that truth and meaning are rooted in personal, individual experience rather than objective facts. For Kierkegaard, understanding oneself and one's relationship with existence requires inward reflection and personal commitment.

  • Truth as Subjective: The belief that ultimate truth is found through individual perspective and lived experience, especially in matters of faith and existence, rather than through detached scientific or rational inquiry.

  • Existential Commitment: The necessity for individuals to make authentic, passionate choices that define their essence, particularly in relation to faith and morality, emphasizing personal responsibility over societal norms.

  • Leap of Faith: A non-rational, passionate act of believing in something beyond evidence, especially in religious belief, acknowledging that rationality alone cannot resolve existential dilemmas.
