| Résumé: | This article examines the challenges for understanding Kierkegaard's philosophy from the perspective of our modern, heterogeneous societies, and seeks to define a humanism or existential ethics within Kierkegaard's existential anthropology. After examining the problems inherent in Kierkegaard's account of neighbor-love and human equality, we question the possibility of separating Kierkegaard's existential anthropology from his Christian ontology. Suggesting that Kierkegaard's philosophy does not leave us empty-handed, as political and social critiques claim, we sketch out the premises for a Kierkegaardian understanding of existential ethics which is not merely an ethics of self-accomplishment, but which places concern for others at the fore. |
