This assignment is designed to assess your comprehension and explanation of the Kierkegaard material.
You must provide citations in your explanation. Some key points to keep in mind:
You’ll need a citation if you a) you quote the reading or b) you summarize a particular passage.
You’ll only need to include the author (Kierkegaard) and the page number.
Remember, you need to use the page numbers in the parentheses at the end of the paragraphs.
For example:
If you were quoting something from paragraph 1 you’d have something like this – Kierkegaard writes in his ‘Early Journal Entries’ that the focus of his thinking should be “to see what it really is that God wills that I shall do.” (Kierkegaard 8)
If you were paraphrasing something from paragraphs 55 & 56 you’d have something like this – Kierkegaard’s discussion of anxiety focuses on the capacity of freedom that is inherent to human life as a “spirit.” According to Kierkegaard, to be a “spirit” is to be a synthesis of the eternal and temporal and we are only free because we are spirit. The anxiety that we feel in life is a consequence of the possibilities that are opened up in our freedom.
