Abstract:


Through a close reading of Kierkegaard’s early texts and their internal logic, this paper aims to elucidate the dynamic process of Kierkegaard’s construction of the sensory characteristic of auditory perception as well as its inheritance and development of Hegel’s dialectical thinking. In Kierkegaard’s understanding of the sensory characteristics of hearing, there is a dynamic process of aesthetics, ethics and beliefs, which contains Hegel’s dialectical unified thinking of subject and object. In the auditory process of aesthetic construction, the “negative” subject and “free and natural” sounds form “the sensuousness” of immediate identity or “numbness”. In the auditory process of ethical construction, the subject’s “active intervention” can turn “external sound” into “internal sound” as “the principle”, and “the sensual” is formed. In the auditory process of belief construction, the immediate identity of aesthetic hearing is “purified”. At the same time, “the principle” of ethical hearing is transformed. Both will form “the sensuality” of “the spiritual” in the end. These processes seem on the surface to be similar to Hegel’s dialectical movement of thinking, but their directions of movement are diametrically opposed.
