Philosophy Forum – 11 December

kierkegaard2

The concept of faith for Kierkegaard.

The forum will continue with Kierkegaard, now trying to understand his notion of faith.

This will be mediated by a paper from Steven Emmanuel entitled ‘Kierkegaard’s Pragmatist Faith’ which references an argument in chapter 3 of Kierkegaard’s ‘Philosophical Fragments’ (also supplied for optional background. Two additional sources are also supplied, one a short account of Kierkegaard’s faith and another a short account of Kierkegaard’s relation to Wittgenstein-the latter of which I could not resist. The meeting will be in UL102 14:15-15:45 and the reading is available from gfreestone@lincoln.ac.uk (Graham)
