Part three, spheres of life.

Our key inquiry question...

Svary thee, Svety! What are the spheres of life?

Beautiful. Okay, so we need to start off with... if you haven't listened to Part 1 of this episode, suggest you go and do that. It's all very important, the background and life of Kyrkegaard. So in the end of that last section in part two, we said that the self is subjective for Kerkarad. So what does this mean? It means that life has to be lived out and acted through our freedom. This is the crucial element of the subjectivity, at least subjective truth. Existence is important. It's kind of a, it's what in mathematics school, a Sud. Have you heard of this? Yeah? Have you heard this word before? You nodding? I've never heard of it before. Explain it to me. I'm doing this secretically ironically. Okay, so we can use that from now and every time we don't know. So certain mathematics is like a quantity that can't be expressed through numbers. Can you think of an example of one of these, Andy? You mum. Yeah. We're glad we're taking this part seriously. It's pie, right? So we can't express pie through numbers. It's infinitely. It goes on infinitely. So we use the symbol for pie. I was thinking that was something along the lines of, I like to eat pie when I'm with your mum. Okay. Fantastic. Really, this is great. For Kierkegaard, existence was all that was left once everything had been analysed away.

So, although we agreed with Hagle to an extent, and perhaps we didn't do just that in that

section, Hagell was massively influential on Kerkugard.

He rejected a great body of his work, especially the fundamentals.

Hegel thought he could explain everything,

Socrates thought otherwise. But once everything we can rationalize has been rationalized as temporal,

rational, finite beings, we have to look at what's left. What's left is the self, this

subjectivity which we need to use our own freedom to find what the subjective truth is.

And this is the roots of existentialism.

Yes. And in the first episode, the quote, truth is subjectivity was used.

And I think a lot of people misinterpret that to think.

Kirkagard just thinks everything's subjective, everything is relative, which is just an outright

lie. He would fully embrace the idea of reason to do things like science and any type of

inquiry like that. So he's not just saying, like, we can make up our own minds on everything.

That's certainly not what he's getting at. So ordinarily, we've used the word objective and subjective a lot. Let's just use them how Kirkagard used them. So he says, objective things depends on what's said, like history and science. You know, he's fine, like he just said for them to be objective, but subjectivity is how a thing is said.
