Abstract

[So far, we have approached the relationship between immanence and transcendence by exploring the question of analogy. Although Kierkegaard is not deploying a technical sense of analogical language, there is nevertheless a connection between his usage of poetic figures and what, say, a Thomistic account of analogical terms is supposed to achieve. In each case, the figure both makes a connection between the immanent and transcendence, and maintains the distinction. Analogies work negatively as well as positively, drawing the limits between the known and the unknown. Certain terms that are key to the figures and narratives used by Kierkegaard—paradox, love, revelation/disclosure—appear to have their proper sense only in relation to the transcendent.]
