Between Nihilism and Faith: A Commentary on Either/Or

'Between Nihilism and Faith: A Commentary on Either/Or' is a comprehensive analysis of Søren Kierkegaard's influential work 'Either/Or'. The commentary explores the complex philosophical ideas within the text, including the existentialist struggle between the aesthetic and ethical life, the concept of the leap of faith, and the existential despair that leads to nihilism. The book aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of Kierkegaard's thought and its implications for contemporary philosophy. more

“The problem with kitsch is that it is all too profound, manipulating deep libidinal and ideological forces, while true art knows how to remain at the surface, how to subtract it's subject from it's deepest context of historical reality. The same goes for contemporary art, where we often encounter brutal attempts to return to the Real, to remind the spectator or reader that he is perceiving a fiction, to awaken him from a sweet dream.”

“At a certain point in history monuments became associated with kitsch, (it had never previously been so) and one might well ask why this unforeseen aesthetic and ethnic debasement of their values came about, or why monuments have not adapted to the times. Perhaps, instead of evoking authentic religious, patriotic or mystical sentiments, they evoke only the customary ersatz for these sentiments and have suffered the fate of becoming sentimental.”
