Original Title:
Ανία και Απελπισία στη Φιλοσοφία του Σ. Κίρκεγκωρ ως προϋποθέσεις Ψυχαγωγίας και Θεάματος στον Μεταμοντέρνο Κόσμο. Η Υπέρβαση της Ορθόδοξης Επικοινωνιακής Θεολογίας
Translated title:
Boredom and despair in S. Kierkegaard's philosophy as conditions for entertainment and spectacle in the postmodern world. The transcendence of orthodox communicative theology
Summary:
Kierkegaard deals with the concepts of boredom, agony and despair, expressed as forms of the mental illness to death. The man, who feels desperate, does it for himself and the transcendence of his anguish and desolation come only through his faith. He focuses on the appearance and the image and he lives within a reflective age of illusions. The manipulation of the public opinion and the danger of the concealment of reality are influenced by both the power of the press and the increasing range of television. Εnstrangement and boredom, which are caused by information in modern society, are due to the inability of public to recognize them. The alienation of existence stems from the alienation of its relationship with God. It is necessary that the being should make a qualitative leap suddenly, in order to overcome its Ego through faith. Only through self-denial and love, it can escape from passive enslavement. Orthodox Communicative Theology is the channel to drive the existence from spectacle to transcendence. Only God and His society of love can totally save the alienated being.
