Kierkegaard

Existentialist- Don't care about origins but about the dread of death. We are just a small piece in this large universe. In the long run of our life what did we really accomplish. Our existence is more important than what we have in common objectively with all other human being ( our essence)
First: senses are our first confirmation of our existence.
Aesthetic, Ethical, Religious
            Human.           Telos
Morality stops us from moving on to the religious stage where we are able to accept death and we are ready for it.
Story of Abraham and how god told him to kill his only son even though he wanted a son so dearly. You have to do what you have to do to reach the religious stage and that if you kill your son you have faith that he will enter salvation and god will keep his promises.
