Biblical Characters in Kierkegaards Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The text argues that the family myth was of great significance for the intellectual formation of S. Kierkegaard. In that myth father Peterson had a special place: he was imbuing the family atmosphere with "sad religiosity"; he had seven children from a marriage with a servant girl, only three of which survived; finally, he believed that none of his children would not live longer than 33, the age when Christ died. Despite being in conflict with the church, Kierkegaard is a theological thinker who understands existence as having three stages: aesthetical, ethical and religious, through which one can achieve the connection with the Absolute, that is with God, and that is then final realisation. In that sense Kierkegaard relies on Old and New Testament and in his philosophy special place is reserved for Abraham, Job, Moses and Christ. This work deals with myths about Abraham and Job.
