Angoscia e redenzione. Il problema della temporalità in Søren Kierkegaard

This paper aims to analyze the concept of temporality in Kierkegaard’s philosophy, with special attention to his book The concept of Anxiety (1844). On the whole, the paper consists of three parts. The first part of the paper provides an overview of the concept of Anxiety in Kierkegaard’s philosophy, in comparison to the other kierkegaardians writings. The second part of the paper is a philosophical comparison between Kierkegaard, Hegel and Trendelenburg on the concept of time and temporality, in order to show the originality of Kierkegaard’s critique against Hegel. The third part of the paper is a philosophical analysis and interpretation of Kierkegaard’s conception of temporality. In this part, a particular meaning of the concept of instant (Øjeblick) is proposed and some implications about the Kierkegaardian conception of redemption.
