Some Kierkegaardian Elements for a Philosophy of the Existential Subject

Résumé En Fr

According to Kierkegaard we cannot expect to find in his authorship a system a coherent expression of different themes using the different pseudonyms he used. The aim of this article is to collect some relevant ideas from his works in order to consider the existential subject. We will try to formulate Kierkegaard's position (or rather through his pseudonyms) on the following questions: Who Am I? and, whom do I want to become? Moreover, we will attempt to consider a Kierkegaardian manner to determine criteria and select the appropriate instruments in answering these questions.

Il s'agit, dans cet article, de rassembler quelques idées fondamentales du penseur Søren Kierkegaard relatives à sa conception du sujet existentiel. Nous y aborderons les trois questions suivantes : 1) Qui suis-je ? 2) Qui je veux devenir ? 3) Quels sont les critères et outils que le philosophe mobilise pour répondre à ces questions ?
