Cortneeeh's Corner

Microblog following the trials and errors of a 20 year old college student.

Musician. Sociologist in the making. Writer. Bibliophile. Taoist. Chinese food enthusiast. Lover of philosophy. Takes her coffee black. Spends too much time in the library and is okay with that.

Welcome.

Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who was a devout Christian and questioned the relation between ethics and religion in an ironic piece which eventually argues that if ethics are above faith as Hegel asserted, then Abraham was a murderer. He never outright argues that Hegel is wrong. He leaves it up to the reader to determine whether Hegel is right and Abraham is a murderer, or Hegel is wrong and we must acknowledge faith. I spent my evening with this man. Sorry, analytic philosophy— I’m cheating on you with existentialism.
