THE IDEA OF HUMANITY AND THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE THE AGE OF THE EXISTENTIALITY OF THE WEST KIERKEGAARD'S QUEST FOR THE ABSOLUTE

Summary/Abstract: The world of philosophy and the spiritual sciences has been marking the 150th anniversary of the death of Sören Kierkegaard. Attitude to the truth, historoy, Transcendence. We do not believe that the possibility of expressing the truth about him is merely a chimaera for us, or a task of pure doxography. Like Kierkegaard in his day, therefore, we are propelled towards the boundaries of time, which has on the one hand stifled the unhappy and painful interiority, subjectivity, and has provoked, on the other, the demonic quest for the original nights, the misfortunate and tragic contradictions, that thinkers invoke, expect or recognize in the intoxication of spirit, hope and hopelessness. For all that, despite the times and himself, Kierkegaard sensed that in this age of thought without thinkers, we have remained without the inner substance of life, of the moral intellect. What is in question here is that the Hegelian system of absolute production and transparency of the Idea met with immense success, evolving into the monolithic industrial culture, a cosmic civilization, which are well known to philosophers as the protagonists of the encyclopaedia of this total and absolute knowing and scientific transparency of all that is. As a result, the Kierkegaard of our fortunate and unfortunate days, reality and potential, presupposes the dignity and seriousness of thought of the historic Kierkegaard. This is impossible, however, if the thinker does not think against himself, out of and beyond himself; if the hubbub of phantasmagorias, fictions and mythological surrogates is not silenced. To put it simply, the world is still characterized by the fantasies of the escape into catastrophilia and those of salvation. Thus begins a stimulating understanding of S. Kierkegaard (Martin Heidegger, Karl Jaspers, J. P. Sartre, Albert Camus, Gabriel Marcel et.al.).
