Kierkegaard, on the other hand, lends his<br />voice to forms of existence by which the “existentiell” dimension rests<br />on the awakening of the Spirit as the condition of possibility. Contrary<br />to Heidegger, Kierkegaard does not regard the fulfi llment of existence<br />as something the subject can decide for itself without falling into despair.<br />Using the literary figure of Hans Castorp from the novel Zauberberg<br />by Thomas Mann, the article aims to show how easily the decision<br />to confront life with love falls back into a spell of escapism, leaving<br />Kierkegaard with the upper hand in pointing out the inadequacy of the<br />human spirit, including philosophical endeavors, to ground itself.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Dansk Teologisk Tidsskrift}, author={Albinus, Lars}, year={2018}, month={maj}, pages={276–290} }
