| Summary: | My aim is to relate Søren A. Kierkegaard's early theory of stages as described basically in "Either-Or"to the theory of interest underlying the two process model of cognition of the Canadian psychologist Keith E. Stanovich with regard to the question of the highest formal goal we can pursue in our life. On the basis of Stanovich's distinction between type 1 and type 2 processing and Kierkegaard's distinction between an esthetical and an ethical stage of life, I argue for an extension of Stanovich's understanding of the goal structure of type 2 processing, for Kierkegaard's ethical stage of life being a natural expression of our cognitive faculties and for a critical approach to Kierkegaard's idea of a religious stage as hinted at in "Fear and Trembling". |
