Enten-Eller V. L’equilibrio fra l’estetico e l’etico nell’elaborazione della personalità

Rate this book
Con questo volume si completa la nostra edizione di Enten-Eller, a cura di Alessandro Cortese, la prima integrale che sia apparsa in Italia. In questa parte, che contiene L’equilibrio fra l’estetico e l’etico nell’elaborazione della personalità, si vedranno tutti i temi dell’opera, e innanzitutto quello del contrasto fra estetico ed etico, riorchestrati e rielaborati in una nuova prospettiva, secondo il tipico procedimento kierkegaardiano della rotazione romanzesca e prismatica. Ma questa inesausta diatriba non è destinata a chiudersi in se stessa: di là da essa si apre uno squarcio sul religioso, accennato nel finale Ultimatum, e nella argomentazione sui generis dell’«edificante che giace nel pensiero che di fronte a Dio abbiamo sempre torto». Enten-Eller apparve per la prima volta nel 1843.

About the author

Søren Kierkegaard

1,135 books6,468 followers
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard was a prolific 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian. Kierkegaard strongly criticised both the Hegelianism of his time and what he saw as the empty formalities of the Church of Denmark. Much of his work deals with religious themes such as faith in God, the institution of the Christian Church, Christian ethics and theology, and the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices. His early work was written under various pseudonyms who present their own distinctive viewpoints in a complex dialogue.

Kierkegaard left the task of discovering the meaning of his works to the reader, because "the task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted". Scholars have interpreted Kierkegaard variously as an existentialist, neo-orthodoxist, postmodernist, humanist, and individualist.

Crossing the boundaries of philosophy, theology, psychology, and literature, he is an influential figure in contemporary thought.
