According to absurdism, humans historically attempt to find meaning in their lives. Traditionally, this search results in one of two conclusions: either that life is meaningless, or life contains within it a purpose set forth by a higher power —a belief in God, or adherence to some religion or other abstract concept.

Kierkegaard on God and the Origins of Existentialism In ‘Existentialism Is a Humanism’, the celebrated existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre defines existentialism as characterized by the belief that the human existence comes before its essence. In his Philosophical Fragments, Kierkegaard — as Johannes Climacus — speaks of the leap as part of the process of demonstrating and accepting the existence of God.

That “existence itself emerges from the demonstration by a leap,” a “diminutive moment” conceptualized as a sort of “letting go” (Kierkegaard, p).

Teodorescu: Kierkegaard and the Knowledge of God One does not have faith that god exists [er til], eternally understood, even though one assumes that the god exist. That is an improper use of language.

This book is concerned with Kierkegaard's `apophaticism', i.e.

with those elements of Kierkegaard's thought which emphasize the incapacity of human reason and the hiddenness of God.

Apophaticism is an important underlying strand in Kierkegaard's thought and colours many of his key concepts. Despite its importance, however, it has until now been largely ignored by Kierkegaardian scholarship. We love God with the mind and we love God with the heart. In reality, we are descending with the mind into the heart and there standing before God in ceaseless wonder and endless praise.
