| dc.description.abstract | In 1844, the Danish thinker Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) published, under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus, the book Philosophical Crumbs, in which he developed the concept of Instant, fundamental in his philosophy. Kierkegaard, when developing this theme, lays the foundations for an existentialist conception of the individual that values subjectivity up to the last moment in face of the advancement of technique, of the superficiality of being. In Kierkegaardian thought, the Moment is the encounter with the Master, Jesus Christ, it is the propitious time to rediscover the true meaning of Christianity, it is the synthesis between temporality and eternity. The Kierkegaardian approach to the Moment reveals and makes alive the reality that each man carries within himself, in which each human being puts himself in a position to choose himself and take responsibility for himself. This dissertation intends to show how the human being makes his fundamental existential option, and changes his life, an option that takes place in the decisive moment, and how what Kierkegaard develops as Aesthetic, Ethical and Religious Moment can be situated in human existence. | en |
