On Unbelief

Unbelief is the detachment of the mind from a certain ground. There are at least three assumptions here: that the ground is, at a certain time, unstable; that we are capable of believing — and to do so we understand the consequences of our ability to tie ourselves to the belief, namely, that our finitude will catch up with us and hinder us from a total grasp of what we are trying to perceive and that vulnerability is ever present in any human relation; and lastly, that existence is entirely subjective.
