...scholarship more and more turns away from a primitive impression of existence; there is nothing to live through, nothing to experience, everything is finished, and the task of speculative thought is to rubricate, classify, and methodically order the various categories of thought. One does not love, does not have faith, does not act; but one knows what erotic love is, what faith is, and the question is only about their place in the system.
-Kierkegaard, from the "Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments"
I have a tendency to dislike you, Soren, but we do agree on a few things.
I am growing tired of being engaged in the type of scholarship he describes there. My own lack of creativity as of late upsets me. I'm convinced that I need to get away from this environment for a while to replenish it. Help me, you ghost. :(
