La clara oscuridad de Kierkegaard para el pensamiento moderno

Abstract

The main target of this paper will be to demonstrate why the Philosophy of Sören Kierkegaard is necessary nowadays. To this end, this paper will be structured in four parts. Firstly, I will explain the peculiar characteristics of Kierkegaard. It is essential to explain why Kierkegaard is a troubled, postmetaphysical and religious thinker. Secondly, I will dwell on how to read Kierkegaard concentrating on the role that pseudonimy and indirect communication play in his work. Thirdly, I will analyse the value of the individual in his theory. Finally, I will show that present thinking needs several of the components set out in the previous sections. Nowadays, we need to bear in mind a troubled and postmetaphysical theory like the Kierkegaard Theory.
