Kierkegaard Explains The Concept of "The Self"

I LOVE IT <3

WTF is this shit? Kierkegaard was a total loser, never got laid and was mentally unstable. Oh, if only pschiatry existed back then, it may have spared us his drivel.

[SockMonkeyMilkshake]

@ToneAntone This from someone who doesn't put a "y" in psychiatry. Kierkegaard was brilliant, just unpopular. What could possibly be mentally unstable about him? Calling someone who's been dead for over 100 years a "loser", on the otherhand...that is perfectly normal.

[auxyray]

this is pure hegel.

Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation [which accounts for it] that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but [consists in the fact] that the relation relates itself to its own self.

[German1184]

Man is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity, in short it is a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between two factors. So regarded, man is not yet a self.

[German1184]

In the relation between two, the relation is the third term as a negative unity, and the two relate themselves to the relation, and in the relation to the relation; such a relation is that between soul and body, when man is regarded as soul. If on the contrary the relation relates itself to its own self, the relation is then the positive third term, and this is the self.

[German1184]

Such a relation which relates itself to its own self (that is to say, a self) must either have constituted itself or have been constituted by another.

haha, the power of thinking hard.... i'm suprised that the computer speech did not stop and say it was confused!

[TheMysticTater]

I had to read this about 3 times before fully understanding it. Myself confused myself to myself.

[THEoriginalRIcHARDS]
