Arguing against Nietzsche
To argue against Nietzsche one must use the conception of faith. Nietzsche claimed he couldn't trust the idea of faith, Kierkegaard could respond that he couldn't even grasp it. For faith is truly something beyond human capacity to grasp. A leap of faith is not logical. Letting go of all you have to believe in something you cannot understand would indeed by a disturbing idea to Nietzsche and beyond both he and Kierkegaard minds. But unlike Nietzsche, Kierkegaard saw this as the only means to escape in the face of death. There really is no logical argument Nietzsche can use to rebut it because it goes beyond logic.
