Uma abordagem culturalista de Kierkegaard: o existencialismo cristão e a verdade da subjetividade

Abstract

This work discuss the ideas of Søren Kierkegaard in many aspects, mainly positing the question of subjectivity and truth. It makes theoretical interconections between Kierkegaard’s thought and some contemporary thinkers, such as Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein. It points out the anti-metaphysical element of Kierkegaard’s Christian existentialism as a relevant theological position to contemporary philosophy. It aims, in general, to verify the possibility of a existential hermeneutic focused on subjectivity and how its internal comprehension and its relationship with God provide important elements to truth’s formation. It tries, in specific, to debate the Hegelian dialetic used by Kierkegaard in oposition to his rejection of a systematic and conceptual philosophy of Hegel. These ideas shall be discussed in order to state some possible political and aesthetical derivations of a non-conpectual and non-systematic way of thinking. It also gets deeper in Kierkegaard’s life stadiums and then verifies kierkegaardian influence or appropriation in Heidegger’s and Wittgestein’s works. Methodologically, it uses qualitative research to review Kierkegaard’s texts, and then it compares to other contemporary authors. It results in post-philosophical determinations of subjective order as a form of comprehension of reality. It concludes that the study of Kierkegaard’s work shall not be reduced only to an historical approach. This study should contribute to the enhacement of today’s cultural reality from a pluralistic and relativistic point of view.
