Existentialism: Kierkegaard, Faith, and Alan Watts

Описание

With special mentions Descartes and Aristotle. Faith is a problem; so many of us believe or want to believe in something beyond ourselves, and yet the existentialist dilemma threatens the very idea of objective meaning central to many religious traditions. So what do we do with that? Kierkegaard may have the answer for those who seek faith in God. And for those who consider themselves "spiritual but not religious", Alan Watts is a remarkable teacher to go to for insight and clarity. Let me know what's on your mind!
