Philosophical Fragments/Johannes Climacus by Soren Kierkegaard
Framed as a reflective teacher’s inquiry into how one attains genuine religious truth, this work contrasts Socratic, objective modes of knowing with the paradoxical, subjective nature of faith, arguing that Christianity cannot be grasped by historical proof or mere rational demonstration but must be appropriated by a single individual through an existential leap into the decisive ‘moment’ of relation to the God‑man; using irony, dialectical argument, and careful analysis of revelation and resurrection, it explores how truth becomes inwardness and how the impossible task of becoming a Christian exposes faith’s demand for a passionate, non‑demonstrable commitment.
