7586 | God does not think or exist; God creates, and is eternal [Kierkegaard] |
Full Idea: God does not think, He creates; God does not exist, he is eternal. | |
From: Søren Kierkegaard (Concluding Unscientific Postscript [1846], 'Thinker') | |
A reaction: The sort of nicely challenging remarks we pay philosophers to come up with. I don't understand the second claim, but the first one certainly avoids all paradoxes that arise if God experiences all the intrinsic problems of thinking. |
