The Dialectic of Moods, Emotions, and Spirit in Kierkegaard and Mādhyamika Buddhism

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterResearch

Abstract

Kierkegaard's dialectic of existential stages can be analysed into a dialectic of moods, emotions and spirit. The "stages" of the aesthetic, the ethical and the religious are characterized by affective and motivational states, which can be differentiated according to their intentional objects, and their orientations towards self, others, worldliness, other-worldliness, temporality and eternity.
