Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Fragments (Danish: Afsluttende uvidenskabelig Efterskrift til de philosophiske Smuler) is a major work by Søren Kierkegaard. The work is poignant attack against Hegelianism, the philosophy of Georg Hegel. The work is also famous for its dictum, Subjectivity is Truth. It was an attack on what Kierkegaard saw as Hegel's deterministic philosophy. Against Hegel's system, Kierkegaard is often interpreted as taking the side of metaphysical libertarianism or freewill, though it has been argued that free will is not essential to Kirkegaard's formulation of existentialism.
As the title suggests, the Postscript is sequel to the earlier Philosophical Fragments. The title of the work is ironic because the Postscript is almost five times larger than the Fragments. The Postscript credits Johannes Climacus as the author and Kierkegaard as its editor. Like his other pseudonymous works, the Postscript is not a reflection of Kierkegaard's own beliefs. However, unlike his other pseudonymous works, Kierkegaard attaches his name as editor to this work, showing the importance of the Postscript to Kierkegaard's overall authorship.
Kierkegaard concludes that God must exist because objective knowledge is obtainable only through God. He spends a lot of time explaining through examples why it is impossible for humans to escape their individual or even collective perceptions. Thus, if we wish to obtain true objective thought we must seek answers through prayer to access the only objective thinker that exists, God. The implications are still overwhelming.
If Kierkegaard's theory is right, then only the true believers are able to be objective. This is why "all objective thought is suspect". It also means that if God doesn't exist, then neither does objective thought. Since Kierkegaard was only a subjective human, he left us to ponder whether or not objective thought (God) exists. Add Friedrich Nietzsche's famous, "God is dead.", and we end up with the philosophical birth of existentialism.
