Thinking of Existence

From the book Kierkegaard's Existential Approach

  • Bjarke Mørkøre Stigel Hansen

Abstract

This essay aims to outline in what ways Kierkegaard’s thinking of existence not only brings into view a concept of existence, but, more fundamentally, enables one to locate an opening to questioning anew the relation of thinking and existence. This thinking of existence does not seek to dissolve existence into knowledge but aims at intensifying the question of a thinking grounded not in the conclusion made in “an external relation between a knower and a non-knower” of which non-knowledge is the negative determination of knowledge, but rather of a thinking grounded in existence.
