imlac may or may not appreciate this:

There's another author out there named Jon Stewart. He wrote a book on Kiergegard. Check out the feedback here:

You mean that book is real?!?

I heard Stewart mention it on the video he did for Amazon, but I thought he was just kiding. I didn't realize it actually existed.

But yeah, what's the point of reconsidering their relationship? Hegel was a nationalist, a political absolutist and an anti-individualist, whereas Kierkegaard was a rampant individualist, a christian existentialist and a subjectivist. Kierkegaard is basically the anti-Hegel, which is why I love him so much.

Well, I guess that depends on your definition of real. ;-) But the amusing part is that if you look at the book "America", they bundle this book on Kierkegaard and Hegel with America. It even shows up under the "People who bought this book (America) also bought" section.

My existentialism is weak. I managed to somehow avoid it in college. Classes covering them were electives, and I was much more interested in symbolic logic and ethics-type courses.
