KIERKEGAARD, SØREN

1813–1855

The Leap (Submit to NOMSG)

Kierkegaard: faith is the leap beyond the evidence; the ethical and the religious are separated by an abyss the leap alone crosses. Limbo's SUBMIT TO NOMSG button is the leap, rendered. The applicant cannot rationally expect verification. The applicant clicks. The clicking is the faith. The institution returns Documentation received. Explanation not accepted. We do not explain. Kierkegaard never explained either. The leap is the practice.
