Abstract:
Kierkegaard’s attitude to natural science is equivocal. Whilethe published works deal with the open criticism of Hegel and his Danishfollowers, in his journals and notebooks we find a more clandestine,albeit no less intense, critique of the scientific endeavours of his day. Thebiting sarcasm that characterises this critique has often led to the viewthat Kierkegaard, as a Christian thinker of subjectivity, naturally hasto be stubbornly against scientific progress. On a closer look, though,we fi nd a more complex view hidden underneath the noisy surface ofKierkegaard’s vigorous rhetoric. The point of this article is to articulatethis more complex view against the backdrop of a historical sketch ofthe relationship between science and religion at the time of Kierkegaard,and through an interpretation of the Kierkegaard’s statements inhis journals and notebooks.
