This February 2025, several of us are participating in the 30-Day Philosophy Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we choose a quote or concept from a philosopher, past or present, and share it with others. Participating in this activity is actually sharing wisdom with others. My philosopher choice today is named SOREN KIERKEGAARD.
Søren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher who challenged people to think that a great life involved a leap of faith more than pure logic. He was a prolific writer that didn’t just touch on philosophy. He was influenced by Socrates. One dominant theme in his works was “to thine oneself be true“
Philosophy 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines
- Identify your choice of philosopher, and, if necessary, offer up a brief bio on that individual.
- If you need help here is a link to some famous philosophers
- Provide the quote or concept that is attributed to this philosopher.
- If sharing with others use the #Coach4adayChallenge
February 15th Philosopher–Soren Kierkegaard
Maybe one encouraging fact about Kierkegaard for those of us who get labeled as slow learners is he began his studies at Copenhagen University at the age of 17 but didn’t finish until he was 28.
Quotes from Kierkegaard
“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
“The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.” Soren Kierkegaard, Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard
“If anyone on the verge of action should judge himself according to the outcome, he would never begin.” Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
