Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche
Watch this video. Consider the similarities and differences between Nietzsche and Søren Kierkegaard based on Kierkegaard's notions of the three stages of life (the aesthetic, ethical, and religious sphere), the "leap of faith", and "truth as subjectivity", as well as Nietzsche's ideas about Christianity as slave morality, the death of God, and the übermensch. According to Kierkegaard, what is the problem with how contemporary society practices Christianity? Is it even possible to be a Christian in the radical sense Kierkegaard suggests? What does Kierkegaard mean when he says Christianity is founded on a paradox? How does Kierkegaard formulate his view that individual existence is a category?
