Kierkegaard’s Existential !erapy and the Problem of the Subject

Article

Abstract

[In English]

Paper focuses on two, essentially connected, things: the very way of Kierkegaard’s intellectual work on the one hand and his vision of the subject on the other hand. !e author argues that Kierkegaard practiced a kind of therapy by his writings to be defined as existential rehabilitation of the Present. Trying to clarify then the concept of the subject underlying such a therapy the author shows to what extent Kierkegaard’s vision of the subject breaks with the concept of the subject characteristic to the classical modernity/the Enlightenment.
