Starting from this reality, Soren Kierkegaard build a philosophical system which not wrestle with universal and abstract problems, but the concert and touching individual area problems. Because, according to Kierkegaard, those practical daily problems are concert and became existential human problem. For him, the concert one became starting point of new reflection about human existence meaning. From this foundation he sparked off existentialism concept.
Soren’s though, as critique of Hegel, emphasize subjectivism aspect. Remembering everything basically is manifestation of what Hegel said as soul phenomenology, then human individuality was reduced to be shoal. That will abolish individual responsibility ethically, even make individual existence to be vanish in fold of bevy. His stressing on individual existence will make him considered as the founder of existentialism that will famed by Sartre later.
He saw that the basic thing for human is his condition or his own existent. According to him, existence only applied in human being as concert individual. Because only the concert individual “I” that can existent which really being and presence in the real reality. According to Kierkegaard, to exist is not mean live in abstract and mechanic mode, but continually make new personal and subjective choices.
Soren is famous as religious existentialist because his concept is more inclined to religiosity. He placed human religious existent at the highest stage over other human existence process. He divided existence concept into three stages. First stage is esthetic, when human exist based on his sensory pleasure. The model figure of this stage in west civilization is Don Juan who always hunts the happiness. The second stage is reached by a flying jumping to a phase where human exist with consideration of universal moral in true and false framework. The example of this step is Socrates who immolated himself for the principle of universal moral. The last stage is the peak of faith which cannot be appraised by universal moral that meet with faith paradox character. The model of this stage is Ibrahim in case of his son slaughter. This division existence is also called by dialectical existence.
A little rebellion
As existentialism concept which yell out individual freedom, I saw his theory is halfway. He is still fettered by ethical, moral and religious construction. His theory is so melancholic and not brave enough. He was influenced by Descartes subjectivism, he more focus on human existence and consider that out of human couldn’t be existent. Consequently, he was trapped in dilemmatic subject-object views. So his theory could be classified into anthropocentrism that will be criticized by recent philosophers. Tweet Follow @tirtanirwana
