a slice of kierkegaard, served.. cold.

This, of course, requires that one continues to strive out of the aesthetic, out of the ethical, and into the religious. I believe that this is in part a plea from Kierkegaard to re-examine that which we think we know – the doubt we assume we know from Descartes, the faith we may assume from Abraham, and to start, instead of on their shoulders, at their feet. To use what they have learned as guidance instead of a step, and with fear and trembling, attempt doubt and faith and subjective knowledge ourselves. In doing so one may be able to succeed in moving from that ethical to the religious realm, to know ourselves, each other, and God, subjectively and particularly. I do not believe this is a guarantee, that by knowing each subjectively and particularly we will succeed in recognizing the Knight of Faith or witness his actions. But it stands that there must be some way in recognizing that faith, just as we believe we see it in Abraham, or else there is no Abraham, and perhaps there is no faith.
