| Summary: | Appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, the present article belongs neither in the category of source-work studies nor in that of history of reception; for it aims, in a purely systematical fashion, to outline and at the same time facilitate and prepare for a dialogue between Karl Barth's lesser-known brother, philosopher Heinrich Barth (1890 - 1965), and Kierkegaard: in particular, between their—as it turns out, strikingly similar or at least complementary—views on human existence as co-existence or as a fundamental form of (being in) community. Accordingly, the article does not rest content with, much less restrict itself to a mere comparison and/or paraphrase of the respective views. It much rather seeks to explore critically the key claims: (a) human existence is essentially co-existence or being in community; (b) co-existence is basically dialogical, hence language-dependent; (c) dialogues must be performed in order possibly to be successful; (d) their actual success is a matter of contingency and thus cannot be guaranteed by a mere fiat of the will. |
