The dispassion of modernity

“What Kierkegaard sees as missing in the modern age is passion – not mere intensity of feeling, but a single, unifying purpose that gathers and orders a person’s whole life. Without such passion, existence breaks apart into disconnected fragments, each governed by its own narrow concerns.” —Daniel Goodman https://www.threads.com/@ploughmag/post/DXocTiwDcVq?xmt=AQF0rv92avkINQhCBo-xwc56hnnZoK0kPXE8WbkiItEWQighYWdQJ4dR_J06UnWhPcMk5pbE&slof=1
