From Kierkegaard's Angst to Religious Faith: A Case of Bobin’s Life Pursuit
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
The detection of the ideas of philosophers in literary intellectuals' works and themes has always been of great interest to researchers. Many literary works directly or indirectly have revealed the philosophical ideas of the philosophers of the past. Indeed, their predictions which may have been staged or narrated in the following works are both inspirational and tentative. This paper has surveyed Kierkegaard's views of Angst to Religious Faith in Bobin’s Work the Eighth Day of the Week, showing the ontological obsessions of postmodern man. It has revealed that Bobin’s taking refuge in the bewilderment of life and death regarding his characters’ ontological obsessions are justifiable at the shadow of Kierkegaard's views of existence which in the end this despair can lead to a kind of religious faith as a source of salvation and experiencing the life and getting along with death. The death-bordered-life from the viewpoint of postmodern man can be fathomed best at the shadow of this philosophical thinking what Bobin has put it in his prose delicately through his selected themes, settings, and characters. Keywords: Anxiety, life pursuit, Kierkegaard, Bobin, Existence.
