Kierkegaard
In Our Time
Seek Your Own Truth
Understanding one's personal truth is essential, emphasizing that truth should resonate deeply with the individual, one in which they would be willing to commit wholeheartedly. While the notion of subjective truth may seem to dismiss the existence of objective truth, it actually advocates for focusing on the individual's experience and perspective in the pursuit of knowledge. This inquiry does not reject objective truth but rather highlights the importance of placing the finite human subject at the center. Kierkegaard suggests that true understanding can ultimately be found through a profound connection with the figure of Jesus Christ, yet he challenges conventional interpretations of this belief, indicating a need for personal engagement with truth that goes beyond traditional doctrines.
