therefore, reason alone is not adequate enough to validate religious truths. In this paper, I will demonstrate how reason and faith aren’t separate entities and how both are needed in order to explain all religious truths by examining the ideas of Kierkegaard and Pascal. I will also give a detailed explanation of fideism, show examples of irresponsible fideism and responsible fideism and then argue in favor of responsible fideism; faith fills in the gaps that are left void by reason. A truly authentic

inspired by the angst-laden Danish Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. Gerald Corey best summed up the contributions of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard stating that “their pioneering analyses of anxiety, depression, subjectivity, and the authentic self, together are generally considered to be the originators of the existential perspective.” (P. 141) It is the philosophies of individual appreciation, discovery and development presented by Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre and other thinkers that inspired future therapists

may have gripped them while they were waiting for death. This notion of awareness brings us to Kierkegaard’s idea that this equality, achieved so late in the lives of the characters in the Iliad, is essential for one’s attainment of “faith”. Kierkegaard employs Abraham’s character and story in oder to explain faith in a sense. The Iliad’s tragic hero and Abraham are different for a variety of reason’s but the main thing that sets them apart is that the tragic hero, can simply be understood. Te

In the case of Margarita, who has been married to her husband for five years which there is a 10-year difference and has two kids, she has had sudden outburst of anger and she gets so mad to the point she is thinking about physically assaulting her husband. She cannot remember what he does to provoke her. Her husband tries to calm her down, she is afraid that he may leave her due to these outbursts. She does not like to be around people, she feels depress every day, only people that see her depress

Corey (2009) argues that to reach these treatment goals, the therapist must strive to reach three phases in existential counseling. The first phase is understood to be to challenge the perception of the client of their presenting issues or symptoms. “They may focus on what other people “make them feel” or on how others are largely responsible for their actions or inaction” (Corey, 2009). It is the role of the therapist to teach the client about the role they have in their own lives and how they contribute

My Own “Confessions” There’s a quote by a Danish philosopher by the name of Soren Kierkegaard which describes much of my adolescent years. “I have just now come from a party where I was its life and soul; witticisms streamed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me, but I went away — yes, the dash should be as long as the radius of the earth 's orbit ——————————— and wanted to shoot myself.” It all started in the tenth grade. I had moved to the area and was starting at a brand new high school

Abstract

Jean-Paul Sartre 's novel Existentialism and Human Emotions discusses his philosophy that man is responsible for what he is and what he does; that man chooses his values and makes himself. At the beginning of the book, Sartre defends existentialism against several charges that had been laid against it. Throughout the book, Sartre refers to the basis of existentialism using the phrase ‘existence precedes essence '. With this, phrase lies the basis for the argument that Existentialism is a Humanism

“Why do we exist? What is the purpose of our life? What is our relation to the world and to other people?” (Gravail, Richard 7). These are the types of questions raised in the heart of philosophy. Existentialism is simply a philosophical approach that focuses on human freedom and responsibilities. Moreover, I agree with the philosophical position on mankind presented in Jean-Paul Sartre’s “Existentialism.” Man will be what he plans to be, solely depending on his will.
