knight of faith
The knight of faith is an individual who has placed complete faith in himself and in God and can act freely and independently from the world. The 19th-century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard vicariously discusses the knight of faith in several of his pseudonymic works, with the most in-depth and detailed critique exposited in ''Fear and Trembling'' and in ''Repetition''.
Johannes de Silentio, Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author of ''Fear and Trembling'', argues that the knight of faith is the paradox, is the individual, absolutely nothing but the individual, without connections or pretensions. The ''knight of faith'' is the individual who is able to gracefully embrace life: Kierkegaard put it this way in ''Either/Or'', "When around one everything has become silent, solemn as a clear, starlit night, when the soul comes to be alone in the whole world, then before one there appears, not an extraordinary human being, but the eternal power itself, then the heavens open, and the I chooses itself or, more correctly, receives itself. Then the personality receives the accolade of knighthood that ennobles it for an eternity."〔Either/Or part II p. 177〕 "The knight of faith is the only happy man, the heir to the finite while the knight of resignation is a stranger and an alien."〔Fear and Trembling, Hong p. 50〕
== The three stages ==
:''Main: The Three Stages''
Kierkegaard recognized three levels of individual existence: The Aesthetic, The Ethical, and The Religious. In ''Fear and Trembling'', Silentio refers to individuals in each stage as the personal self, the civic self, and the religious self. Each of these levels of existence envelops those below it: an ethical or religious person can still enjoy life esthetically. Abraham learned how to keep his finite relationship with his family separate from his infinite relationship with God. He had to overcome the fear of having anxiety over losing something. Each individual experiences anxiety to a different degree and the fear of anxiety in a unique way.
