The first layer is emotional material enjoyment, which only cares about individuals and the present; The second layer is the existence of rationality, which makes your life more serious and conscientious, in line with social ethics; The third level is the highest level that people should pursue: religious existence. This is a life of prayer and love, an awareness and awe of God, so that the spirit can be entrusted.
In the process of moving from the lowest "existence" to the highest "existence", people will have three kinds of despair. If a person doesn't want to live as a "table" but knows how to pursue his own "existence", then he will inevitably experience these despairs until he reaches the third level of "existence", a religious existence, and this despair will disappear.
Brief introduction of soren kierkegaard
Soren kierkegaard (1813-1855) is a Danish religious philosophy psychologist and poet, the founder of modern existentialism, and the pioneer of postmodernism and modern humanistic psychology. Studying at the University of Copenhagen. After inheriting a large fortune, he lived in seclusion in Copenhagen for life, writing and publishing events at his own expense. His thought has become one of the theoretical foundations of existentialism and is generally regarded as the father of existentialism.
He opposes Hegel's pan-theory and thinks that the object of philosophical research is not only objective existence, but more importantly, it links individual existence with objective existence from the perspective of individual "existence". The starting point of philosophy is the individual, the end point is God, and the road of life is also a heavenly road.
