The Evidence of the Centuries
the fact that Christianity has endured for 18 centuries.
(Mohammedanism has endured for 12 centuries.)

Jean Paul is very likely the one who has said that even if we eliminated all the proofs for the truth of Christianity, there would still remain the fact that Christianity has endured for 18 centuries.—JP III 3607 (Pap. VI B 25) n.d., 1845

Madvig7 is somewhat like him.

(His whole style. That he ventured to say: I.)

§2.

Whether the approximation of probability (just as great for the contemporary and the latest) can be of interest (1) in order to gain faith—or (2) when one has faith.

  No! (1) Illusion. —(2) Spiritual trial unto relapse.

In order to dispel the illusion that has gained a foothold during the eighteen centuries, the pamphlet made it all contemporary with the appearance of the god and canceled the distinction between the contemporary and the latest follower.8 —JP V 5790 (Pap. VI B 16) n.d., 1844-45

Positions

(1)

 

 

 

(a) Objectivity stresses:

the one spoken to, for example, to God, to pray means to speak to God.

(b) Subjectivity stresses:

what is said, that one does not stand and talk with one of the other cellar-merchants even though God’s name is spoken.

(2)

 

 

 

(a) Objectivity stresses:

what is said; the summary of thought-determinants.

(b) Subjectivity stresses:

how it is said; infinite passion is crucial, not its content, for its content is in fact itself.

§2

Possible Lessing Theses.

(1) The existing subjective thinker is aware of the dialectic of communication.

(2) In his existence-relation to the truth, the subjective existing thinker is just as negative as positive, has just as much of the comic as of pathos, is continually in the process of becoming, that is, striving. [VI B 95 177]

(3) Contingent historical truths can never be a demonstration of eternal truths of reason; the transition whereby one will build an eternal happiness on historical reports is a leap.

(4) Wenn Gott [If God] etc.

(p. 154 [p. 1.106]).
