"The objective of this book is to review the complex of issues in
Soren Kierkegaard's concept of existence. It is evident that for
Kierkegaard existence is always composed of three elements: namely,
the subject, freedom, and the ethical. In the process of clarifying
the relation between these three elements in the different stages
of existence, the course of the development the individual must go
through in order to become the single individual is described. "The
study falls into four parts. The first section describes the levels
in existence on which as person attempts by his own powers to
actualize the ethical ideals; in this stage the center of gravity
for a person's effort still lies within the bounds of immanence.
The second section describes a person's ethical and religious
growth as it develops in relation to a transcendent power, whose
highest expression is Christ as the revelation of God. The third
section discusses the issues in existence that Kierkegaard himself
designated as the most difficult of all for human thought. The last
section points to the highest existential position to which
philosophy in the broader sense and Christianity respectively can
take a person. Kierkegaard utilizes these positions as a standard
for evaluating existence within immanence and for Christian
existence.
