Sorry, I wasn't clear.
By "we" I mean people who have read Kierkegaard. I think that on the subject of his writings, people who have read them have a more valuable opinion than people who haven't read them.
Quote:That quote is a statement, I don't see a recommendation. And "change the nature" is definitely open to interpretation.
True, the quote doesn't contain everything he had to say. The recommendations are elsewhere. Since Anomalocaris had a very strong opinion about what Kierkegaard said, I thought he probably knew more than that quote. Maybe not.
"Change the nature of" is indeed open to interpretation. This doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
And it doesn't mean that the change needs to be considered as positive.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
