It is perfectly true, as philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards. And if one thinks over that proposition it becomes more and more evident that life can never really be understood in time because at no particular moment can I find the necessary resting-place from which to understand it.
Søren Kierkegaard, from At the Existentialist Café by Sarah Bakewell

"I am sitting and listening to the sounds within myself, to the joyous intimations of the music and the profound seriousness of the organ. Synthesizing them is a task not for a composer but for a human being, who in the absence of greater challenges in his life, limits himself to the simple task of wanting to understand himself."
- Søren Kierkegaard (1843)

“What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.”
-Soren Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard ve Tinsel Korku Kavramı
Tumblr media
Tinsel korku, Kierkegaard felsefesindeki problemlerden birisidir. Tinsel korku, kaygı düzeyinin üstünde bir durumdur. Nihilist bir filozof olarak da bilinen düşünür, Korku Kavramı adlı kitabında belirli bir nesneye karşı duyulan korkudan değil bunun tam tersi belirsizliğe karşı duyulan korkudan bahseder. Bu korku (Angst), objelere karşı duyulan korkudan daha büyük ve kapsamlı bir duygudur, kendisi bizzat düzenin içinde yer alır, salt varoluştan gelir... Kierkegard, bahsettiği bu korkuyu şu şekilde de tanımlar. “Henüz gerçekleşmemiş bir deneyimi tahmin ederek, algıyı, düşünceyi ve eylemi engelleyerek zihni muhtemelen bulanıklaştıracak şekilde bir kişinin üzerinde asılı kalan endişe üstü durum”
Kierkegaard, bu varoluşsal gelen, anlamlandırmada zorlanılan korkunun; insanın dünyaya amaçsız, nedensellikten uzak gelmesine adeta dünyaya fırlatılmasına, varoluşsal olarak defolar bulundurmasına bağlar çünkü bahsettiği tinsel korkunun nedeni belirsizdir...

That is the road we all have to take - over the Bridge of Sighs into eternity.
- Sören Kierkegaard
As an undergrad years ago I climbed over the Bridge of Sighs at St. John’s college onto a waiting punt on the other side. Many others - but in a less drunken state than me - have done it too as a dare or as a jape. Climbing the bridge is easy enough but finding the right moment when the porters are not patroling the college grounds is the hard part.

“In my relationship with God, I must learn simply to give up my finite understanding, and with it the drawing of distinctions that is natural to me, in order always to be able in divine madness to give thanks.” -Søren Kierkegaard, “Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments”

The greatest hazard of all, losing one's self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. is sure to be noticed.

“The lowest depth to which people can sink before God is defined by the word “Journalist”. If I were a father and had a daughter who was seduced, I should not despair over her; I would hope for her salvation. But if I had a son who became a journalist and continued to be one for five years, I would give him up.” Kierkegaard
