Soren Kierkegaard

    5 de mayo de 1813 – 11 de noviembre de 1855

    Søren Kierkegaard fue un influyente filósofo y teólogo danés del siglo XIX que criticó duramente el hegelianismo de su época y las que consideraba vacías formalidades de la Iglesia de Dinamarca. Gran parte de su obra aborda temas religiosos como la fe en Dios, la institución de la Iglesia cristiana, la ética y teología cristianas, y las emociones y sentimientos del individuo al enfrentarse a las decisiones vitales. Sus primeros escritos los realizó bajo diversos seudónimos, cada uno presentando puntos de vista distintivos en un complejo diálogo. Kierkegaard dejó en manos del lector la tarea de descubrir el significado de sus obras, pues creía que la dificultad del empeño eleva a los corazones nobles. Su obra trasciende las fronteras de la filosofía, la teología, la psicología y la literatura, siendo una figura influyente en el pensamiento contemporáneo.

    • En 1844, un año prolífico para Søren Kierkegaard, se publican tres escritos que presentan una notable heterogeneidad estilística y temática, firmados bajo tres pseudónimos: Johannes Climacus, Vigilius Haufniensis y Nicolaus Notabene. En "Migajas filosóficas", Climacus examina las limitaciones del pensamiento filosófico en la búsqueda de la verdad individual, enfocándose en el aprendizaje representado por la mayéutica socrática y el cristianismo. "El concepto de angustia" aborda la relación entre la angustia psicológica y el pecado hereditario, describiendo la angustia como una "antipatía simpatética". Kierkegaard señala que la angustia es un poder extraño que se apodera del individuo, quien, aunque teme, también desea lo que le causa angustia. Por último, "Prólogos" refleja el interés de Kierkegaard en esta forma literaria, presentando ocho prólogos a libros inexistentes y un prólogo inicial que aboga por la emancipación del texto "prologal" en su ambigüedad, permitiendo "tratar sobre nada". Estos escritos ofrecen una profunda exploración de la verdad, la angustia y la naturaleza del texto, revelando la complejidad del pensamiento de Kierkegaard.

      The exploration of authority takes center stage in this work, prompted by a Danish pastor's claim of a divine revelation. Kierkegaard's fascination with Adolph P. Adler evolves over eight years of manuscript revisions, ultimately leading to a broader philosophical inquiry. Although he published part of the manuscript during his lifetime, the complete version remained unpublished until now. This edition presents the full text along with earlier drafts and selections of Adler's writings, offering a comprehensive view of Kierkegaard's thoughts on genius and apostolic authority.

      Kierkegaard's work showcases his dual nature as both a poet of ideals and a direct critic of the ecclesiastical order. In his writings, he employs an indirect method to explore profound themes, but ultimately culminates in a direct and confrontational stance in "The Moment," where he challenges established religious institutions. This tension between poetic idealism and polemical critique defines his philosophical contributions.
