The universal is subordinate from "summary" of Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard
The universal is not always the most important thing and can be subject to certain rules and regulations. It is possible to have a situation where the universal is looking up to something else and is not the main priority.- According to some people, universal morality is subordinate to personal beliefs or values.
- There are those who want to prioritize their own understanding of life and reality over any imposed moral rules.
- One may reject universal moral principles to pursue a greater cause and accept the risk of going against society's ideas.
- Allowing faith and devotion to supersede laws may lead to difficult choices that can shape up a person's destiny.
- The understanding and weighing of alternatives should consider the best interests of both parts involved in the discussion for an ethically sound outcome.
- Choosing to stand on your own convictions and convictions of others created by social standards should be cautiously weighed before making a final decision.
- Differing opinions should never be discarded without first giving them due consideration as they could bring compelling arguments and perspectives to bear.
- Philosophical discussions offer solutions to reconcile our ethical dilemmas when there is a conflict between personal values and established norms.
- It is justifiable in certain contexts to disregard social conventions if doing so leads to an honorable result.
- No matter what path one may choose in life, it is imperative to consider how overcoming challenges will impact our character.
