Modernity, social thought and criticism in Kierkegaard

Creators

  • 1. INEM José Félix de Restrepo, Medellín, Columbia

Description

In Kierkegaard we can find a strong indication of the trend of mass society of the age manifested in front of his eyes. From this type of considerations, one can start to arrive at the idea that Kierkegaard is a social thinker because of his strong social criticism. Although Christianity has no political pretensions, the ethical radicalism intended by Kierkegaard necessarily generates social discomfort. Due to the excess of objectivity and the false tendencies in the relationships that have developed in society, Christianism presents itself as a scandal and whoever practices he runs the risk of being mocked and abhorred. This text focus on Kierkegaard's criticism of society and, therefore, on the difficulty of carrying out the Christian's mandate in it. And finally, is Kierkegaard a social thinker? The discussion about the consequences and questions about the possibility of considering Kierkegaard as a fundamental social thinker is reached.
