Heines philosophisches Denken, das Denken eines wahrhaft "freien Geistes" und seine respektlos poetische Religiosität sollen, in enger Zusammenschau mit dem Bild seiner Persönlichkeit, in diesem Hörbuch besonders herausgestellt werden. "Nach mehrmaligem Durchstudieren des Kantschen Hauptwerkes glaube ich zu erkennen, daß die Polemik gegen jene bestehenden Beweise für das Dasein Gottes überall hervorlauscht, und ich würde sie weitläufiger besprechen, wenn mich nicht ein religiöses Gefühl davon abhielte.

"Hätte Hegel seine ganze Logik geschrieben und im Vorwort gesagt, daß sie nur ein gedankliches Experiment sei, in welchem er sich obendrein an vielen Stellen vor etwas gedrückt hat, dann wäre er wohl der größte Denker gewesen, der jemals gelebt hat.

Die Abneigung Kierkegaards gegen das Hegelsche System oder gegen Systematiker überhaupt stellt ihn in eine Linie mit verwandten Denkern "freien Geistes" - von den Gnostikern bis zu Nietzsche.

His boyfriend is a flaming atheist, and his boyfriend’s Protestant grandmother counts Catholicism as a sin worse than sodomy.
