Spirituality not Sensuality?

Posted: January 3, 2012 in abstract, Kierkegaard, sensuality, Spirituality

I don’t understand why Kierkegaard’s aesthete thinks that sensuality is more abstract that spirituality. Even if sensuality is that which spirituality is not (which I am yet to find a persuasive reason for), sensuality is about the physical world, whereas spiritality is about that which is not physical. In that sense, then, is spirituality that which sensuality is not?

So, any Kierkegaard fans out there, do enlighten me!

  1. Not a Kierkegaard fan at all, indeed would go in precisely the other direction (following Process Philosophy and Embodiment) to suggest that Spirituality is about the relationships that are embedded in, and expressed through precisely that physical world.
