 Kierkegaard rejected the modern concept of objective knowledge and focused instead on subjectivity, which he defined as inwardness and passion. He believed that truth should be understood as an objective uncertainty appropriated passionately through the inward reflection of love and faith. This primacy of epistemology implies that one must first discover the truth about morality and life before trying to live it out. However, this pursuit of objectivity without recognizing human limitations and the dimension of subjectivity can lead to manipulation, loss of human dignity, and ultimately nihilism. Recognition of these limits can help us avoid the pitfalls of scientism. This article was authored by Michael Valco and Katerina Valcova.
