Editor Preface Introduction BOOK ONE: The Objective Problem
Concerning the Truth of Christianity Introductory Remarks Chapter
I: The Historical Point of View 1. The Holy Scriptures 2. The
Church 3. The Proof of the Centuries for the Truth of Christianity
Chapter II: The Speculative Point of View BOOK TWO: The Subjective
Problem, The Relation of the Subject to the Truth of Christianity,
The Problem of Becoming a Christian PART ONE: Something About
Lessing Chapter I: An Expression of Gratitude Chapter II: Theses
Possibly or Actually Attributable to Lessing 1. The subjective
existing thinker has regard to the dialectics of the process of
communication 2. The existing subjective thinker is in his
existential relation to the truth as negative as he is positive; he
has a much humor as he has essential pathos; and he is constantly
in process of becoming, i.e. he is always striving 3. Lessing has
said that accidental historical truths can never serve as proofs
for eternal truths of the reason; and that the transition by which
it is proposed to base an eternal truth upon historical testimony
is a leap 4. Lessing has said that, if God held all truth in His
right hand, and in His left the lifelong pursuit of it, he would
choose the left hand A. A logical system is possible B. An
existential system is possible PART TWO: How the Subjectivity of
the Individual Must be Qualified in Order that the Problem May
Exist for Him Chapter I: The Task of Becoming Subjective. The
conclusion that would be forced upon ethics if the attainment of
subjectivity were not the highest task confronting a human
being-Considerations left out of account in connection with the
closer understanding of this-Examples of thinking directed towards
becoming subjective Chapter II: The Subjective Truth, Inwardness;
Truth is Subjectivity Appendix. A Glance at the Contemporary Effort
in Danish Literature Chapter III: Real or Ethical Subjectivity-The
Subjective Thinker 1. Existence and Reality 2. Possibility as
higher than Reality-Reality as higher than Possibility-Poetic and
Intellectual Ideality-Ethical Ideality 3. The Simultaneity of the
Individual Factors of Subjectivity in the Existing Subject-The
Constrast between this Simultaneity and the Speculative Process 4.
The Subjective Thinker-his Task, his Form, his Style Chapter IV:
The Problem of the Fragments: How can an Eternal Happiness be based
upon Historical Knowledge? Section I. For Orientation in the Plan
of the Fragments 1. That the point of departure was taken in the
pagan consciousness, and why 2. The importance of a preliminary
agreement concerning what Christianity is, before there can be any
question of mediating between Christianity and speculative thought.
The absence of such an agreement favors the proposal of medication,
while at the same time making any mediation illusory; the presence
of such an agreement precludes mediation 3. The problem of the
Fragments viewed as a problem, introductory not to Christianity,
but to becoming a Christian Section II. The Problem Itself. The
eternal happiness of the individual is decided in time through the
relationship to something historical, which is furthermore of such
a character as to oinclude in its composition that which by virtue
of its essence cannot become historical, and must therefore become
such by virtue of the absurd A. Existential Pathos 1. The Initial
Expression for Existential Pathos: the absolute direction (respect)
toward the absolute telos, expressed in action through the
transformation of the individual's existence Aesthetic Pathos-The
deceptiveness of the principle of mediation-The medieval monastic
movement-The simultaneous maintenance of an absolute relationship
to the absolute telos and a relative relationship to the relative
ends 2. The Essential Expression for Existential pathos:
Suffering-Fortune and misforutne as the expression for an aesthetic
view of life, in constradistinction to suffering as the expression
of a religious view (illustrated by reference to the religious
discourse)-The Reality of suffering (humor)-The reality of
suffering in the last instance as evidence for the possession by
the existing individual of a relationship to an eternal
happiness-The illusion of religiosity-The category of
Anfechtung-The primary ground and significance of the religious
suffering: The dying away from the life of immediacy while still
remaining in the finite-An edifying divertisement-Humor as an
incognito for religiosity 3. The Decisive Expression for
existential pathos: Guilt-That the investigation goes backward
instead of forward-The eternal recollection of guilt is the highest
expression for the relation between the consciousness of guilt and
an eternal happiness-Lower expressions for the consciousness of
guilt, and corresponding forms of satisfaction-Self-imposted
penance-Humor-The religiosity of hidden inwardness Intermediate
Clause between A and B B. The Dilectical 1. The dialectical
contradiction which constitutes the breach: to expect an eternal
happiness in time through a relationship to something else in time
2. The dialectical constradiction that an eternal happiness is
based upon something historical 3. The dialectical contradiction
that the historical fact here in question is not a simple
historical fact, but is constituted by that which only against its
nature can become historical, hence by virtue of the absurd
Appendix to B. The retroactive effect of the dialectical upon the
pathetic, and the factor simultaneously present in the pathos (a)
The consciousness of sin (b) The possibililty of offense (c) The
smart of sympathy Chapter V. Conclusion. About Childish
Christianity Appendix. For an Understanding with the Reader First
and Last Declaration Notes Index Originally published in 1941. The
