- Title
KierkegaardÌs Epistemology of Faith: Outline toward a Systematic Interpretation.
- Authors
Lisi, Leonardo F.
- Abstract
This paper argues that KierkegaardÌs conception of faith must be understood in the context of KantÌs Table of Judgments and the transformation of its title of modality in German philosophy during the 1790 s. Kierkegaard retains the fourfold structure of the Table of Judgments in his definition of the human being in Sickness Unto Death, and conceives of God as a version of the absolute that provides the standard of measurement for the unification of terms in a proposition. Unlike his idealist precursors, however, Kierkegaard insists that the gap between thought and experience is constitutive of the human being and that God as an absolute is wholly Other rather than coextensive with the structures of our subjectivity. As such, Kierkegaard both retains and fundamentally transforms his predecessorsÌ presuppositions, and thereby provides a distinct definition of the nature of truth and experience to be justified.
