Autenticidade, escolha e autonomia: o indivíduo acima da ética e da estética em Kierkegaard

Abstract

The way in which Kierkegaard constructs Enten/Eller is as original as his philosophy. Dressed as literature, with a somewhat fantastical plot, it became known for bringing the idea of the stages of existence for the first time. The work, however, is a treatise on the nature of choice and consequence, not from the moral, heteronomous point of view, but from the point of view of individual truth.Kierkegaard seems to wade through hedonism, and not find the answers. It seems to investigate the nature of ethics and find no rest. Although still in its rudiments, and even with a profoundly enigmatic text, it begins to flirt with the idea of a return to irrationalism, which will mature in its later stages. The exercise of questioning an efficient structuring of eudaimonia beyond heteronomous, lacking the necessary foundation seems to be inaugurated by Kierkegaard, who chronologically precedes other thinkers who follow this same line.
