O si mesmo e as personificações da existência finita: por uma ciência existencial constantemente referida a Kierkegaard

Abstract

This thesis takes as its starting point the forgetting of the self operated by the thinkers of the nineteenth century and rescued by Kierkegaard among his project as a writer. Addresses to the possibility of an "Existential Science" constituted by Kierkegaard's answer to this problem. This work was organized around three axes. The first, that was developed in our Introduction, seeks to reconstruct minimally the philosophical environment to which Kierkegaard wants to oppose in his concern of the self. The second axis is drawn around the work "Sickness unto Death and was divided into two parts. At first we seek to reconstruct the elements with which the author is talking to in order to think what is the self and how it is constituted. Secondly we will seek, using the definition of the self, the personifications or psychological descriptions that constitute itselves as possible answers to the problem of having to be self. At this time we will also use the psychological descriptions of Vigilius Haufniensis in "The Concept of Anxiety". The third axis is developed in the last chapter, in which we will follow the trail of a possible existential science, which we believe was left by Kierkegaard in the works that we saw in the previous axis, in his diaries and in his posthumous "Point of view of my work as a writer".
