S. Kierkegaard is one of the founders of the philosophy of the 20th century, the forerunner of existentialism. At the center of his philosophical reflections, Kierkegaard poses the problem of the being of a single - one and the only one - a person, opposing the universal and objective foundations of human being. A person, according to Kierkegaard, unlike the animal, is not a generic, but an existing creature.
In this paradigm, the philosopher analyzes the three spheres of the existence of man - aesthetic, ethical, religious. Historically, the first stage is aesthetic when “a person is overwhelmed by pleasures, obsessed with passions”, when he “becomes a prisoner of his own aspirations.” The result of this is the satiety and a feeling of meaninglessness of existence, accompanied by despair. The second stage of human life is ethical, which is opposite to aesthetic. Its basis is the consciousness of the responsibility and duty of each person to his own kind, to humanity. The main requirement for a person is the requirement to become himself. The third stage of human development, opposing the first two, is religious. “Faith is the highest passion in man. Perhaps, in any generation there are many people who did not even reach her, but there will not be a single one who could go further than her ... However, one who has not yet reached faith, life sets enough tasks, and under An honest attitude towards them and his life will not remain barren, even if the life of those who understood and gained the greatest - faith - did not become like a faith. ” Faith is the basis of the highest stage of human development, that is, the stage of existence.
Consider the source of faith, its specifics is the task of the treatise Fear and Treeps. Kierkegaard leads the main character - the knight of faith - the biblical Abraham and seeks to show the existence of Abraham and his actions with the heart. The consideration of the faith that Abraham personifies allows us to see its unique unity that carries a miracle
