This paper discusses Kierkegaard's and Descartes' positions on the knowledge of truth. The paper examines Kierkegaard's discussion on Abraham having faith in the test that God placed upon him in terms of sacrificing Isaac. Kierkegaard shows how Abraham had a faith that went beyond this world. This is why Kierkegaard writes that "faith begins precisely where thought stops." (Kierkegaard, p.20) This reality of innate knowledge was connected to Descartes' conception of matter. Descartes saw matter as being separate from consciousness. He believed in innate and universal truth. 8 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
