He got into the habit of assigning the task of deducing the meaning of his writings to the reader since, in his words, the task should be difficult, for only difficulty inspires nobles of the heart. He has been labeled as an existentialist, neoorthodox, posmodernist, humanist, and individualist, among other things.
