Rezumat: Kierkegaard’s strange epistemology and his influence in views of James Loder. In 1992 a very interesting piece of Kierkegaard-research has been published:
The Knight''s Move – The Relational Logic of the Spirit in Theology and Science.
The main title of American authors is a symbol from the world of chess,
normally the chess pieces have rectilinear move, but the Knight makes a
strange loop, an irregular move.
In the natural sciences of the 20th century the old, “rectilinear” models are
irrelevant, and for the right answer we need a so-called Strange Loop model.
Hofst adter said : “…the explanations of ‘emergent'' phenomena in our brains, for
instance, ideas, hopes, images, analogies, and finally consciousness and free will
– are based on a kind of Strange Loop, an interaction between levels in which the
top level reaches back down toward the bottom level and influences it, while at
the same time being itself determined by the bottom level … The self comes into
being the moment it has power to reflect itself.” The adequate representation
of this model is the Moebius-strip, the one-sided surface. The authors says
that: “…We will argue that Kierkegaard’s thought makes extensive use of the
strange loop, and, indeed, that the whole design of his authorshipis illuminated
by this model.” This characteristic of Kierkegaardian epistemology is special
stressed by his Christology and in his thoughts about faith. Christ is simultaneously
man and God, the faith is both the work of Holy Spirit and the
work of human mind.
It is also interesting to see the direct and indirect relation between Kierkegaard’s
epistemology and the sciences of the 20th century (Niels Bohr,
Einstein, Piaget, M. Polanyi…)
A world concept, or an epistemological model can be obstacle in the
searching of truth, but can be a catalyst like it has been Kierkegaards epistemology
for the 20th century.
