Kierkegaard, anybody?

Would I be a knight of faith? Well, perhaps I strive to be (in Kierkegaard's terms of faith, and not what he would situate as the ethical term for it). However, I don't think one can finally become a 'knight of faith'-- one must always work for it, and never stop working (for if there was an end to it, it would be teleological, and finite-- which humans are not). I see others as incommensurable, I see myself as incommensurable too (where both self and other are on the same level-- I do not annul others (what Kierkegaard calls the esthetic), and I do not annul myself (the ethical).
I love Fear and Trembling; an amazing book by an amazing Philosopher.

Kierkegaard. A very good point in answer.
What type of response were you looking for?

I have never been knighted before but I have faith that you can ask this question in the right section next time.

Actually, I'm a knight against faith.
Thanks for asking, though.
