9 Heiberg’s journal is important for us, however, insofar as it initiated the Danish debates about Hegel and Aristotle that were to influence Kierkegaard’s authorship. For example, F. C. Sibburn, who was Kierkegaard’s dissertation supervisor, published in 1838 a critical review of Perseus, “On the Manner in which the Law of Contradiction Is Treated in the Hegelian School,” which opposed the theory of mediation and defended Aristotle’s logic. This academic debate concerning the principles of contradiction and mediation becomes particularly significant from our perspective when it turns to the theological and religious implications of the two systems of logic.

On behalf of humanity as a whole, philosophers can use the dialectical method to comprehend themselves, their world, and its history as expressed in various cultural forms. This history includes, of course, a religious consciousness. Hegel argues that philosophy and religion share the same content, although they approach it in different ways (religious teachings are expressed through symbols rather than concepts). The dialectical logic that has been made explicit by philosophy can be found in theology too, so that philosophical insight clarifies religious truths and demonstrates their implicit rationality.
