This article attempts to demonstrate the advantages of using the methodology of Quellenforschung or source work research when approaching the corpus of Søren Kierkegaard. The field of Kierkegaard studies has been long dominated by a number of misconceptions concerning the Danish thinker’s relation to Hegel, which has almost invariably been portrayed as singularly negative and critical. This article applies source work research to three different passages from Kierkegaard’s primary texts, where his alleged polemic with Hegel is thought to be in evidence. However, when the actual sources of his criticisms are determined, an entirely different picture emerges and the role of Hegel fades into the background.

DEATH AND DYING IN SOREN KIERKEGAARD'S PAPIRER

100%
EN
'Papirer' is a large collection of Kierkegaard's private and intimate notes, published posthumously. They reveal a crucial influence of Kierkegaard's constant expectation of his immediate death on his existential philosophy. Kierkegaard sees the relationship to one's own finiteness and mortality as the hallmark of one's spiritual standing. The 'situation of death', i.e. an authentic confrontation with the inescapability of one's own death, becomes for Kierkegaard a privileged moment of both the discovery of the truth about the authenticity or the lack of the authenticity of one's own existence, and of the spiritual transformation. The crucial condition of such transformation is the 'death to the world'. One dies to the world by giving up freely all desires directed towards anything other than God, the Infinite Good, and in fact the only authentic good. The 'situation of death' helps to make this existentially crucial step, because it creates a necessary separation of the individual from the 'crowd'. 'Sickness unto Death' is for Kierkegaard a state of mind, characterized by despair, of someone who failed to achieve a truthful relationship with his own mortality, and ultimately with his own existence.

The main aim of the article is to present Kierkegaard and Lévinas' concept of dialogicity. The relationship between the two philosophers is an interesting but not well-known problem in Polish humanities. Kierkegaard asserts that authentic philosophy must have a dialogical form - by a maieutical self-irony one can experience a stratification of one's own self. Lévinas criticizes Kierkegaard's concept of the dialogue, meaning that it is limited by a lonely subject having an infinite discussion with his or her own self, which the French dialogist recognizes as usual egoism. In the paper, a detailed discussion between these two ideas is presented.

Beginning with a consideration of one of the central methodological issues in contemporary Kierkegaard scholarship, this paper goes on to suggest that the tradition of reading Kierkegaard as a philosopher, or in the terms of philosophy, is a tradition of aestheticism. Calling upon the distinguishing features of the aesthete found in the work of Anthony Rudd and Patrick Stokes, the author argues that the tradition of reading Kierkegaard as a philosopher has these same features; and so can be said to be a tradition of aestheticism. The paper goes on to make this case in detail with respect to Rudd’s book Kierkegaard and the Limits of the Ethical and Stokes’ Kierkegaard’s Mirrors.

Soren Kierkegaard is an author who, due to his creative use of genre, has been difficult to characterize straightforwardly. His unconventional form of writing has at times been understood as a part of his criticism of German speculative philosophy; however, little work has been done to actually understand the nature of his criticism and his precise objection to the form of presentation traditionally used by systematic philosophy. In this article it is argued that there is a close connection between the form and the content of speculative philosophy, and that due to his disagreements with the content of the latter (specifically concerning the question of faith) Kierkegaard was obliged to make use of a different literary form in order to criticize it.

Kierkegaard’s influence on the social-political thought is a lively topic in current scholarly debates on Kierkegaard’s philosophy. Buber’s social-political reception of Kierkegaard is relatively well-known but the research has so far focused almost exclusively on Buber’s dialogical oeuvre (i.e. works written after 1916). The paper broadens the scope of research by elucidating Buber’s pre-dialogical reception of Kierkegaard’s ideas and conceptual emphases. It examines the ways in which Kierkegaard provided inspiration for Buber’s philosophy of Judaism, theory of patriotism and theory of political groups.

The paper discusses Kierkegaard’s account of faith as ‘the new immediacy’. After considering the term ‘immediacy’ with respect both to its ambiguity and to the different ways in which it can be used, i.e. as an epistemological assumption and as an ontological assumption, the author will argue that this very distinction can provide a hermeneutic key for an understanding of Kierkegaard’s account of faith.

This essay follows Kierkegaard’s treatment of the concept of Socratic irony through the course of his whole authorship, starting with his dissertation (1841) on Socratic and Romantic irony. Later, in 1846, Kierkegaard’s pseudonym Johannes Climacus mounts a critique of that dissertation in Concluding Unscientific Postscript, sharpening Kierkegaard’s earlier definition of irony through the concepts of jest and earnest. The focus of this essay, however, is on Kierkegaard’s late period, after 1846, when the satirical Copenhagen journal The Corsair, mounted a set of vicious attacks upon Kierkegaard, subjecting him to months of public ridicule. The result was that Kierkegaard came to feel a much closer personal identification than before with the situation at Socrates’ trial.

Kierkegaard´s „Fera and Trembling“ analyse the biblical figure of Abraham, who was supposed to sacrifice his son Isaac, an act he calls „ a knight of faith´s conduct“. As other authors add, there are different aspects of behaviour – order, decision, jump, sacrifice and silence. We have borrowed the concept and applied it to two novels: Troje paměti Víta Choráze by Julius Zeyer and Hécate by Pierre Jean Jouve. Both transform this concept but show this knight of faith according to the attributes as well.

In the history of thought we would hardly find an author accentuating passion in his work as strongly as Kierkegaard did. But his comprehension of passion does not correspond to common usage of the term. The paper begins, therefore, with pointing out to the differences between the common understanding of passion as a strong emotion and Kierkegaard’s specific concept of passion as an essential interest in one’s own existence. However, the main intention of the paper is to offer an interpretation of his specific concept of passion as the will to existence based on the analysis of the correlative relationship between passion and existence. Some positive aspects of passion as found in Kierkegaard’s authorship are outlined as well.

The aim of the study is to analyze two basic stories of human freedom, that of Kant and that of Kierkegaard. In its first part the author tries to uncover the basic motives of both philosophical stories using the film 'Minority report' as the background of his discussion. While according to Kant ethics is the basic manner of true self-understanding, Kierkegaard on the other hand suggests to suspend ethics in order to achieve authentic identity of the Self. Does a universal commitment to oneself exist at all, or is this commitment the basic problem in the search for an authentic freedom?
