A passage likens a figure named for this adjective to a shirt from an “old fable” that is “spun under tears” yet a “better protection than iron and steel.” Hegel contrasted the popular, “Bad” conception of this word with its “True,” self-determining form. Karl Barth’s Epistle to the Romans quotes the theory that God and man are separated by this sort of “qualitative distinction.” This adjective describes the attitude of someone who chooses to recollect his lost (*) love but not to believe that they will be reunited, in a passage about a “young swain” and a princess. One can move beyond ethical life and an associated attitude named for this adjective via a “leap,” as illustrated in the story of Abraham and Isaac. For 10 points, Kierkegaard contrasted a “knight of faith” with a knight of what sort of “resignation”? ■END■
