<< think the better watershed is Nietzsche. In philosophy, much is pre and post N. Then the question becomes just how Kierkegaard is read as in the same tradition as Nietzsche. Obviously, if the criteria is belief in some sort of supernatural being and since you can read Kierkegaard as having such a belief, that makes the two incompatible. But a lot of philosophy did not do so, including at least Sartre and Heidegger. I am not sure what you are saying here? Sartre was a hard core athiest. Read his book Nausea. Nietzsche had a huge impact on my thinking he was so smart, but I do not remember any references to Kierkegaard. Not saying there were none. A lot of Nietzche was built on the works of the ancient Greeks. Basically, as you well know, it is everyone building on top of everyone else. But where the big divide is, is what people ultimately believe. I like to think I am the reality based community; and that makes me scared to death of Romney.
