个体存在哲学视阈中的人

克尔凯戈尔的个体存在哲学将人的存在状态划分为三个不同的层面,即美学层面、伦理层面和宗教层面,与之相对应的是人的三种存在类型:美学层面的人是一个唯美主义者,他完全沉沦于自己现实的直接给定性之中,一味屈从于自然欲望的摆布;伦理层面的人是一个伦理主义者,他把履行伦理的义务和责任视为自己的神圣使命;宗教层面的人是基督的信徒,他把对基督的信仰视为自己存在的最高使命。克尔凯戈尔将宗教层面视为人的存在可能达到的最高层面。

Human Beings in the Philosophy of Individual Existence

In Kierkegaard's philosophy of individual existence,human beings exist in different states at aesthetic,ethic,and religious levels.Correspondingly,human beings exist by three different types: a human being at the aesthetic level is an aesthete who entirely sinks into the limitation directly set by the nature and blindly succumbs the natural desires;a human being at the ethic level is an ethicist who regards carrying out ethical obligation and responsibility as his/her holy task;and a human being at the religious level is a Christian who considers the belief to Christ as his/her ultimate assignment.Kierkegaard believes that the religious level is the highest level that a human being can reach.
