A Discussion on Truth in the Context of the Hegel – Kierkegaard Contradiction

Abstract

The clash of the views of two philosophers who lived in the 19th century is also important in the context of developing critical thinking. Therefore, this study aims to reveal Kierkegaard's existential and subjective truth in contrast to Hegel’s universal and objective philosophy. Deep differences have emerged between Hegel and Kierkegaard because of their different perspectives on the problem of truth. It is important to try to determine the problems around which this opposition develops. In this respect, it is necessary to try to explain the opposition of existential philosophy with system philosophy through the disagreement between the two philosophers, and this is another aim of the study.
