Abstract
SUMMARY In this article the author shows that modern logical analysis can also contribute to the study of the history of philosophy. With the help of its methods and techniques we are able to make the hidden presuppositions manifest that are used in the argumentations of the various philosophers. The author shows that various premisses are taken for granted in Kierkegaard's argument. Kierkegaard gives a project of thought in which he presupposes that the moment in time has a decisive significance. From this non-religious presupposition he infers the truth of the Christian faith with great dialectical skill. The author shows that Kierkegaard's argument is correct, provided some plausible premisses are added and the word ‘decisive’ is interpreted in a radical sense. He also indicates what is to be meant by ‘radical decisive significance’. In passing the author shows the Lutheran background of some of Kierkegaard's concepts and he indicates a weak point in Kierkegaard's criticism of natural theology.
