The
nature of questioning serves as a point of departure in this terse but
far-reaching philosophical essay. With the help of set theory and
Kierkegaard, the link between inquiry, knowledge, belief, and enthusiasm
is revealed. On some level this exposition might be viewed as a lesson
in spirituality for the skeptical and/or scientifically-minded.
Periodically the enthusiasm with which we exist seems to fade away for no reason. What was invigorating yesterday appears eerily empty today. The fact that enthusiasm can disappear so quickly and without warning is a cause of much anxiety. When such a disappearance occurs we are left uncertain not only of our path in existence, but also of our beliefs about existence itself. Generally this circumstance is perceived to be negative or undesirable. However, it is actually beneficial in that it forces us to reexamine the path we have chosen as well as the beliefs guiding that path. The periodic disappearance of enthusiasm is analogous to a reset mechanism in consciousness, and is effectively a recurring phase of existence characterized by our lapsing into a lower state of mind.
