Reply to comment by DarkMarxSoul in A cross between an Existentialist and an Old Testament prophet, Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard urged his "single individual" reader to follow the "highest passion" of faith rather than becoming one of the stereotyped pseudo-individuals of "The Crowd" by thelivingphilosophy

Yeah, you’re misinterpreting his argument. Speculative reason as in objective reason (Descartes, hegel). I don’t know what the etymology behind that is but it’s not equivalent to colloquial speculation.

Again, I’d read his argument before judging prematurely. His whole point is faith in god shouldn’t be “based on evidence” so you’re not in disagreement.
