7. Existence / A. Nature of Existence / 5. Reason for Existence

16007	I assume existence, rather than reasoning towards it [Kierkegaard]
	Full Idea: I always reason from existence, not towards existence.
	From: Søren Kierkegaard (Philosophical Fragments [1844], p.40)
	A reaction: Kierkegaard's important premise to help show that theistic proofs for God's existence don't actually prove existence, but develop the content of a conception. [SY]
