Kierkegaard, Søren Aabye

Kierkegaard, Søren Aabye (1813–55), Danish philosopher. Of wealthy Lutheran family, he spent almost all his life in Copenhagen. To the prevailing Hegelian philosophy, he opposed his own ‘Existential’ dialectics, pointing out what was involved in the position of man ‘existing before God’. Though deeply original, his thought reflects its Lutheran ancestry in its opposition of faith to reason and the stress laid on the relation of the individual soul to God almost to the exclusion of the idea of a Christian community. His oft-repeated statement that ‘truth is subjectivity’, links truth with the existing subject instead of with its object, and so, in the last resort, makes its communication to other subjects impossible. He drew the theological consequences from this position by denying the possibility of an objective system of doctrinal truths.
