He phrases this in terms that portray Kierkegaard in a positive light, by referring rather contemptuously to the ambition of offering a "grand systematic account" of the general structure of human existence, as if Guignon advises a scornful dismissal of "such grandiose projects" (201). The recognition of our finitude thus moves us to reflect upon our entire life, and the ideals and values by which it is defined, in a way that bears a close resemblance to Heidegger's account of "being-toward-death" and "anticipatory resoluteness" (see 150, 160, 194-195), althoughsomeof the terms used by Kierkegaard are absent fromBeing and Time.
