Abstract:
By observing the three stages of life according to Kierkegaard, especially the final stage which is the religious stage, we realize that the ethics considered by Kierkegaard is realized in the religious or faith stage. What he refers to as ethics in his works is Hegelian conventional ethics and is in no way his intended ethics. Just as Kant has practical reason and transcendental reason, one can also consider conventional ethics and higher ethics for Kierkegaard. 'Ethics of Faith' is a title under which Evans examines Kierkegaard's ethics. The basis of this ethics is faith in God and submission to the command of God. In this article, we will introduce each of the elements and components of Kierkegaard's ethics of faith, which consist of absolute submission to the absolute, love, practice and imitation, and sincerity. We will also speak about the ethics of self-realization, which is the link between Kierkegaard's existential philosophy and ethics. Additionally, we will add that Kierkegaard's ethics of faith, with the component of submission to the command of God, is considered among the theories of the divine command.

The Ethical Stage "As a judge, I perform my duties in court, I am satisfied with my position, I believe that it is consistent with my abilities and my whole personality, I know that this work requires the expenditure of energy," I try to make this work as natural as possible ...
What he means by the group of exception are those individuals who have reached the religious stage; the general and universal rule is ethics, and the absolute command is the command of God.
From Divine Love (Faith) to the Divine Command (Ethics) The feeling of guilt and being in error that forms within us leads us toward a relationship with a different and non-absolute being, a being that is superior to us and does not possess the characteristics of suffering, choice, suffering, limitation, and non-existence.
Kierkegaard says: Individuality is achieved in relation to the Absolute, not in relation to the universal; meaning, a human becomes an individual in relation to God, not in relation to society or even to general ethical values and laws.
