This video looks at the first half of what Kierkegaard calls the pathetic-dialectic, existential pathos, or what he also calls Religiousness A. Existential pathos marks a fully religious attitude in which the individual turns inward in order to relate to God (rather than the universal principles of ethics). We also look at suffering and guilt-consciousness which are crucial elements to Religiousness A. The former is essential in the sense that it is a necessary part of Religiousness A, which requires self-annihilation before God, a dying to immediacy, and a coalescing of the infinite with the finite. The latter is also an essential part of being human and in a relationship with God. In truth, we are all guilty; the important thing is to recognise this.
