The Tangle of Freedom and Choice in Søren Kierkegaard’s Existentialism Crisis Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the philosophical ideas of a famous existentialism father Søren Kierkegaard. Different aspects of individual liberty and inward choice problems are raised and investigated in this article. The first part of this paper shows that human freedom for Kierkegaard is not an inevitable human being reality but rather an existential aim and the essence of freedom is comprehended as a permanent perfection of a personality while presenting three human life stages. The second part of the paper discusses the ratio between the individual liberty and God. An authentic and deep personal faith in Kierkegaard’s philosophy discloses a direct relationship with God, through whom the person is released and uplifted over a rational mind and the principles of universal moral norms. We could experience the authentic personal freedom only choosing to live in harmony with God. From this point the main conclusion of this article arises that the individual liberty problems in Kierkegaard’s existentialism crisis philosophy are deeply interconnected with faith and in this light the essence of freedom, its aim and fulfilment in the existence of human being.
