O indivíduo kierkegaardiano: itinerário entre angústia, desespero e síntese

Abstract

The present work aims, based on the works The Concept of Anxiety and The Sickness unto Death of Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855), to investigate the Kierkegaardian individual and his itinerary between anxiety, despair and synthesis. For this, first, through the relationship between the individual and his anxiety, it will be possible to observe an approximation of the synthesis through the analysis of the individual first in his state of innocence. Subsequently, from the leap of this individual to an existential quality, we will be able to perceive the emergence of despair, which is the individual's own bad relationship with the poles of synthesis. This bad relationship will show us how his experience with his “self” really happens. Finally, in view of the deepening of the bad relationship between the poles of synthesis and the awareness of his self, this individual will no longer have as a measure the very aspects of man, but those of God, and thus he will be able to envision a possible way out of this desperate crossroads: the restoration of synthesis based on the element of faith.
