El concepto de la angustia

by Søren Kierkegaard, Dangello Medina (translator)

EL CONCEPTO DE LA
Kierkegaard desarrolla el concepto de la angustia, no como un simple sentirse mal, sino como un análisis profundo de lo que significa existir, el "estar aquí", siendo lanzados al mundo entre circunstancias y factores fuera de nuestro control. Esto representa una carga inevitable en nuestras vidas que nos conduce a la angustia. Cada elección que hacemos nos fuerza a emprender acciones y, inevitablemente, a renunciar a otras, generándonos el miedo a equivocarnos, lo que da pie a la angustia del futuro, de lo que nos deparará; hallándonos, así, vacíos y solos.

About the author

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.
