Vários modos de se dizer o nada : as figuras niilistas de Kierkegaard entre a filosofia e a literatura

Abstract

The present investigation aims to think about the theme of nihilism from the reflections of Søren Kierkegaard. The great philosophical problem of nihilism remained until then a theme, if not unprecedented, at least quite dilettante, judging by the fact that nihilism as a philosophical concept is consolidated after Kierkegaard. Considering Kierkegaard's reflections about Hegelian philosophy and romantic literature, the main claims of this research are: Kierkegaard deals with the phenomenon of nihilism in its context, even before the concept, by engaging in the quarrel between Hegel and the German Romantics; Kierkegaard sometimes takes back the romantics, sometimes Hegel to build his own path; the Nordic philosopher makes use of nihilistic figures, such as irony and boredom, to think of the malaise evidenced by modern nothingness.
