The writings of Kierkegaard continue to be a fertile source for con
temporary philosophical thought. Perhaps the most interesting of
his works to a philosopher is the Concluding Unscientific
Postscript to the Philosophical Fragments. The Fragments is a
brief, algebraic piece in which the author attempts to put forward
the central teachings of Christianity in philosophical terminology.
The. work is addressed to a reader who has a philosophical bent and
who may therefore be tempted to relate to Christianity via such
questions as: Can the truth of Christian ity be established? The
analysis of the Fragments establishes that this way of relating to
Christianity is misguided, since Christianity and phil osophy are
categorically different. Having done this, the author turns his
attention in the Postscript to the question of how an individual
human being can properly establish a relationship to Christianity.
In order to become a Christian, one must first of all exist.
"Nothing more than thatP' one may be tempted to think. Yet at the
very core of the Postscript is the notion that to exist as an
individual human being is difficult. The author goes so far as to
claim that men have forgotten what it means to exist."
