Ok seriously, how am I supposed to pronounce Kierkegaard?

Thank you professor for sharing your extensive knowledge about Soren Kierkegaard and world history. I particularly want to praise you for your beautifully thought- out summation to lecture three. I gained a whole new understanding of why history is vital to humanity's understanding of exactly how we arrived at the present moment thinking what we think. Your explanation of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the perfect garden into the east of Eden is so satisfying. Indeed, once the genie is out of the bottle it can never be put back in. I have wished for many years that somehow it could, especially now with the advent of AI and it's horrific potential for harm. Alas, we hear the same ignorance towards the misuse of it by those who continue to plow ahead blindly in the name of human progress and the advancement of knowledge. Such a familiar refrain echos throughout history. Onward and upward; nothing to see or fear here! Keep striving, keep competing; continue to demonize everyone standing in the way of progress. Isn't it so very ironic that the endgame of all our knowlege is mastery over nature in this wider world, to which our parents were caste, to only strive to create the very paradise from which we were caste? Thank you sir.

I participate wholeheartedly in educational lectures. The multidimensional coincidental unification of self-conscious acceptance of a juxtaposition furthering the comprehension of logos extending from mythos inspires my breathing to cease and the beating of my heart to pause. I am Socrates while I, Euthyphro, anticipating each of our utterances while emitting the intention of our cognition. I run from me to escape the aggression of my interrogation. I am guilty of my accusation. Who is this Kierkegaard?

Wonderful question at the end to tie together the various concepts presented in the lecture.

Wow ❤❤

Kirkegaard was a bony type of individual.

Brilliant and insigtful set of lectures

fr nobody gonna talk about the audio?

having listened some 4000+ hours to Jordan Peterson and rediscovering who I am and what happened to my childhood, I had looked into Soren K. at various times and tried reading several of his works. This gentleman has helped me much to go much deeper with Soren's work that I am more prepared to deal with my anxiety and trace the blueprint slayed out so long ago. Thank You for these lectures getting. the message finally

Thank you from turkey

I'm so glad I found these lectures, it has been a beautiful journey.

The volume is too low and needs turned up.

Oh yeah in league of nonsense kierkegaard wins hegel is like an immature, undeveloped heidegger

I’m loving these lectures! Thank you so much for your work!

Woah! This guy wrote a book on Kierkegaard’s understanding on hegel I’ve heard of him

I'm so glad I found these lectures. They are wonderful. Thank you!

Excellent series

Even if one only understands this in a partial way, it creates a formation of thought and personality.

Thank you for the clear lecture, it gave me a clearer idea of Romantic irony. It seems that this is an unedited version though? At 38:00 you can hear the interviewee say that he hopes he will say something cogent haha.

great job, subbed

thank you 😊

This was a good survey of S.K.s writings. However,I was hoping for a more in depth analysis of some of the texts that are not quite clear

I wish I could hear it

The volume on the audio is way too low. I can barely hear it. If it is too loud I can turn it down but I can't turn it up.

So far, so good

You don't hear nearly as much as you would expect about Kierkegaard. In a way he is a half forgotten thinker. For a long time I have been searching for someone that could say something meaningful about Kierkegaard's idea of the Individual. I am hopeful and will be paying close attention.

So Kierkegaard predicted Nietzsche?

Volume is too low. So God wants us to be without knowledge, to be ignorant.

I took this course. Very well done. Recommended.

The objectivity of the object lies within the subjectivity of the subject.

I was raised on Cartesian solipsism and later worked in the analytic tradition. I studied Kierkegaard in graduate school to ask questions that the analytical approach could not even entertain. I relate to the inwardness and the role of the self in the organization of experience.

Call Jesus blood

That last bit of the professor looking out of the window into the vast beyond is profound after his discussion of the locus of truth vis-a-vis subjectivity and objectivity.

His conclusion is riveting (42:10 onwards) tying together the previous points and showing their relevance today.

Bravo! Thank you!

Hegel anticipated Kierkegaard with his Unhappy Consciousness you know. Good series but why ignore his love life if such it can be called? I mean Regine Olsen.

Now, this is a professor!

Kierkegaard claimed to know nothing, but any time someone critized him or had a negative comment on one of his writings he will never greet that person again....a very strange socrates. I am very thankful for the lectures. One of the best things I encountered during the pandemia. Thank you very much for letting everybody have access to them!!

Thanks for this very thorough series on the life and works of Kierkegaard!

Hegel = 1770 - 1831

Preface VIII is absolutely hilarious to me, S.K. was such a genius.

Am I finally past Søren Kierkegaard? That would have been the measure of a long life! [and I'd never have been able to finally think it through without Stewart's lectures] But fact is I'm only partly past Søren. Kierkegaard maintained we have to live with disjunctions...no "I am the walrus" for that dude. A place where antitheses remain antitheses. No, not all the time was there oneness for Kierkegaard! But two of his big disjunctions it appears I am past. 1. God telling Abraham he should sacrifice Isaac? No, S/He wouldn't have. 2. God becoming man is an impossibility logically? Not really, Indians in India were looking for Incarnations for nigh on nigh on. Times DO change, don't they? Eras change. Yet, I'm thinking SK still might have been on track re something in his own time, a smaller item...Hegel's philosophy [it is a little strange from our perspective today that SK had NO burning issues to relate to the king of Denmark when the latter repeatedly requested audiences with him]. Pertaining to Hegel, Kierkegaard gets involved re specifics on "irony," something I need to grok a little better. But to me SK might have been right in a more "general" way about Hegel, before you even get into that technical "irony" question [47:28]. Yes to me SK was real right about a "small" disjunction in his own time...he believed it was errant TO ASSUME HEGEL HAD IRONED OUT MANY DISJUNCTIONS. IOW he believed Hegel (the rage in SK's circle) who purported to wipe away so many disjunctions in Nature and humanity...had not explained the relatedness of opposing members in many pairs of phenomena. Hegel was ONE guy that claimed many processes boiled down to one dialectical process. But this ONE guy had sort of set up a pan-western Advaita. To embrace Hegel or to accept reality as a little more inchoate was the real either/or among scholars in SK's time. But in SK's circle it was soooooooo much easier to accept Hegel. This was really a case of disjunctions denied. But Kierkegaard said...NO, bring them all back! It was all a very fixed issue in terms of the period in which it lasted. And, in a similar way, that is where IMO the big disjunctions might be for us today...not just enduring disjunctions [which may end up fewer than we thought], but perhaps there's an equal number, or even MORE of the type concerning this or that temporary "issue," pertaining to whatever flash in the pan philosophy or guru. Or those types of big temporary conundrums on fb where, regarding one or another in particular, it's his or her evidence versus my own. Though the disjunctions we live with today aren't all the ones Kierkegaard thought the most challenging [or at least for me aren't those ones], there are still some around we have to abide. I'm sure he never lost sight of the one where one WANTS to see, yet one sees through a glass darkly. So, Kierkegaard was right to advocate patience in dealing with unsolvables in our lives. Maybe that was the big message of his I've been wondering about almost all MY life. There's not enough time for any one person to crack ALL the explanations out there, but I'm GLAD to have had the opportunity to have seen the whole fuzzy Kierkegaardian landscape lit up by Jon Stewart! PS Anyone would question Advaita?! www.sacredweb.com/online_articles/sw4_bolton.html

Interesting. Although he is American, he speaks English as if he was a Danish person. His words are sharp and short.

Thanks for this video.
