Poate Fi Invatat Adevarul? Optiuni

[Mihai]

O intrebare la care s-a straduit sa raspunda Socrate, careia Kierkegaard ii dedica un intreg Proiect de gandire, care a starnit interesul a numerosi filosofi: putem invata adevarul?

Pentru a analiza in ce masura poate fi acesta invatat, Kierkegaard analizeaza mai multe ipostaze: starea precedenta, cand cautatorul nu poseda adevarul, nici chiar sub forma de nestiinta. Ipostaza invatatorului, ce poate deveni ocazia ce-l face pe invatacel sa-si aminteasca faptul ca el este neadevarul. Similar cu trezirea din pacat, dupa cum subliniaza filosoful:
Invatatorul este deci tocmai zeul care, actionand drept ocazie, ocazioneaza sa i se aminteasca invatacelului ca este neadevarul, si din propria lui vina. Cum sa numim insa aceasta stare, de a fi neadevarul si de a fi din propria-i vina? Haideti sa o numim "pacat".

Cea de-a treia ipostaza este a discipolului, care poate deveni, prin primirea adevarului, un "om nou".

Revenind asadar la intrebarea din topic: credeti ca poate fi invatat adevarul? In ce masura este deschis / accepta omul sa invete adevarul?

Kierkegaard se rezuma la a sublinia ca ar fi inacceptabil sa-i ceri unui om sa descopere singur ca nu exista...

I am now 74 years old. And yet I feel that I am an infant. I feel clearly that in spite of all the changes I am a child. My Guru told me that the child, which is you even now, is your real self (‘swarupa’). Go back to that state of pure being, where the ‘I am’ is still in its purity before it gets contaminated with ‘this I am’ or ‘that I am’. Your burden is of false self-identification – abandon them all. My Guru told me – ‘Trust me. I tell you, you are divine. Take it as the absolute truth. Your joy is divine; your suffering is divine too. All comes from God. Remember it always. You are God, your will alone is done.’ I did believe him and soon realized how wonderfully true and accurate were his words. I did not condition my mind by thinking: ‘I am God, I am wonderful, I am beyond.’ I simply followed his instruction, which was to focus the mind on pure being, ‘I am’ and stay in it. I used to sit for hours together, with nothing but the ‘I am’ in my mind and soon peace and joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state. In it all disappeared - myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace remained and unfathomable silence.
