Kierkegaard on “a living work of art”
Socrates does nothing at all, he doesn’t even speak in his innermost with the God – and yet he does what’s the highest of all.
[…] in Greece a thinker wasn’t a restrained existence, who created works of art, he was himself a living work of art.
Johannes Climacus,
Concluding Unscientific Postscript
Socrates gjør slet Intet, han end ikke taler i sit Indre med Guden – og dog gjør han jo det Høieste af Alt.
[…] i Grækenland var en Tænker ikke en forknyttet Existerende, der frembragte Kunstværker, men han var selv et existerende Kunstværk.
Johannes Climacus,
Afsluttende uvidenskabelig Efterskrift
