Abstract

We live in an age that is sinking into an ontological necessity of listening to the philosophical faith for adressing to the primary sources of all kinds of relationships with God. The crisis of the age is hidden in the descent of magnificent spirit as God as Gloria Dei that carying along with itself all metaphysical assumptions, including human existence. So, what is still calling to struggle oneself for to be ownself in the truth-sickness of the modern world that its idols have already been broken? Is there still any justified meaning for human existence to struggle for? Which universal ideal could still be a hope or a remedy for its being that immersed into the sea of nothingness? There is only one thing is remained to us for such a difficult and serious problems: Someone’s undertaking a decision lonely for encountering with God and leap into an openness before God for self becoming with itself before God courageously but at the same time desperately. Here, in the light of these concerns, main task of this study is narrated contentious story of encountring with God before God by attending to Kierkegaard’s philosophical investigation about mysterium tremendum on a poetic argumentation.
