Time, Death, and the Unspeakable Secret , By Mircea Eliade
Kierkegaard and Eliade on Repetition
The concept of repetition is one of the most recurrent themes covering both Eliade's scientific work and his Fantastic Tales. Given that Søren Kierkegaard was among the authors most read by Eliade, it is important to recognize that Eliade owed much to the concept of repetition originally developed by Kierkegaard. Given that, this article aims to speculate about how the Kierkegaardian concept of repetition could have affected Eliade's way of inter…
Kierkegaard’s Lesson on Religious Conformism vs. the Current Mainstream Environmentalism
This paper aims to show how Kierkegaard’s attack upon Christendom still works today to contrast current forms of conformism disguised under the appearance of new secular religions. I will start with considering Kierkegaard’s concept of conformism as a form of despair. As such, conformism is incompatible with Christianity, as well as with the development of a true Self. Secondly, I will focus on the current religious scene in Western Europe. While…
Repetition as a Path to Authentic Existence in Kierkegaard’s Work
Thesis. The aim of the paper is to interpret Kierkegaard's concept of repetition as a way of creating and experiencing authentic existence in an environment that is set up to repeat this same, inauthentic content of consciousness. Concept. Repetition is associated with determinism and represents social stagnation. Repetition creates the conditions for an inauthentic existence. The article offers an interpretation of Kierkegaard's concept of repet…
The rise of fascism and the reformation of Hegel’s dialectic into Italian neo-idealist philosophy
Fascism's rise to power in Italy directly involved the main exponents of neo-idealism -the dominant philosophy at that time: Giovanni Gentile and Benedetto Croce, who were promoters respectively of the Manifesto of the Fascist Intellectuals and the Manifesto of the Anti-Fascist Intellectuals. At the beginning of the century the two philosophers were committed to reforming Hegelian dialectic, the outcomes of which seem to account for both Gentile'…
Abraham and the tortoise
As Zeno of Elea disputed against multiplicity and local movement, so Kierkegaard disputed against the pretentious claim of his contemporaries "to go beyond faith" or simply to perform the movement of faith. To show how far people so called Christians were from genuine faith, Kierkegaard stresses in Fear and Trembling the exceptionality of Abraham's story, analysing the infinite stages through which the knight of faith must pass. The aim of this p…
Johannes the seducer's diary or the seduced Kierkegaard's diary
The author addresses a series of problematic questions that arise in any study or research of the Danish philosopher Sren Kierkegaard. These issues concern both the writer and his work. Such issues include, for example, the problem of pseudonyms in the area of communication, with references to his position on knowledge and truth. The purpose here is to present a sophisticated contextual interpretation, from a historical and socio-cultural perspec…
A brief recollection of Kierkegaard’s testimony on Reformation 500th anniversary
Sren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a radical Christian thinker. As a philosopher, he emphasized the paradoxicality and irreducibility of faith against the dogmaticspeculative view on Christianity, which conceived faith as an objective and systematic knowledge. With regard to his existential commitment, Kierkegaard fought against the religious establishment of his time, accusing it of hypocrisy. The present article recalls Kierkegaard's dispute agai…
