PHI 1104 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: For Marx, Geek, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Document Summary
Existence, i exist because i have a meaning to my life. Kierkegaard states: that the system of hegel is contradictory because it leaves out the essential leaves out one thing: the single existence of the person who wrote it so hegel. Kierkegaard: the more we think the less we are, often abstract thinking is something that takes away from the experience of our actual singular existence. He uses language in a different way: he writes under pseudonyms or pen names he invents names/ he is kind a divorcing himself from the language, separating himself as an individual from a discourse/ language. The second thing he does is use irony: not saying what you mean, so the opposite of philosophy, he is constancy playing tricks on us and fooling us. And the third technique way of writing: lack of argument structure.
