Cartas del Noviazgo

by Søren Kierkegaard

A traves de estas cartas surge toda una dramaturgia del amor apasionado, del genero epistolar amoroso que deviene medio y elemento de su personalizacion. Aqui, escribir es escribirse, es una manera de amar y las cartas son actos de posesion que ciernen a la amada y la penetran en forma indeleble. Hay a traves de esa especie de liturgia escenica toda una revelacion ontologica que no puede ser de otro modo que unilateral, aunque el alto grado de presion emotiva le otorga una viva dramaticidad.

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.

Reviews

[Santiago M.]

Un vistazo a la relación y los días más relevantes de la vida del autor, revelando su profundo amor, terquedad, derrotismo y ansiedad que desembocarían en Fear and Trembling e Either/Or, dos de sus obras de mayor importancia.

[Giargiacus]

Las cartas de S.K. a su amada Regina (14 años), donde a traves de sus cartas pierde de rumbo quien es ella y únicamente escribe la romantización del concepto que ella implica. Logrando enamorarla con las descripciones de sí misma que no puede percibir.
