Descrizione

At times, intending to emphasize the dynamic character of the human person and the Kierkegaardian concept of the self as a task to be accomplished, we deny the possibility of a constitutive self that is prior to or independent of its own action. In this article, I aim to show in two steps that Kierkegaard’s vision does not exclude a metaphysical approach anchored in being. First, I point out that Kierkegaard himself moves on the plane of being, in addition to that of action; and second, I propose the metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas as a way to combine both aspects of the person, the constitutive and the dynamic, and thus show the compatibility of Aquinas’ and Kierkegaard’s thought.
