Summary/Abstract: This work is the second part of a work published in 2022 („The Concept of the Free Will in the Philosophy of the Eternal Recurrence”), where I elaborated on the concepts of the free will and the eternal recurrence in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. I chose to present in this article the point of view of Søren Kierkegaard that corrects and completes the overthrow of all values that takes place in Nietzsche’s writings. If the German philosopher states a type of freedom achieved through extrem individualism and personal morality, Kierkegaard withholds the freedom that emerges from the relation with God and a free will dependent on choices that can dissapear (alongside freedom) when the individual does not respect (conciously or not) the paradox of faith and does not take into account God when making a decision.
