Abstract

DOBRE, Catalina Elena. Repetition: A sui generis Work in Søren Kierkegaard´s Authorship. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2020, n.59, pp.275-300.  Epub Nov 20, 2020. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i59.1124.

Considered one of the most complex categories in Søren Kierkegaard’s thought, the repetition continues to raise much restlessness within his own authorship. Although about this cat- egory we find some first sketches in an unfinished book called Johannes Climacus or De homnibus dubitandum est, much later Kierkegaard will return to the category of repetition in his writ- ing of the same name: Repetition, a peculiar work, very difficult to understand in its own dynamics. For this reason, in this essay we propose an interpretation of the category of repetition in re- lation with that text, to understand why repetition is a spiritual category as Kierkegaard himself thought it, starting from the idea that for the Danish philosopher the repetition is what can be called a “philosophy of the future”.

Keywords : repetition; recollection; freedom; becoming; philosophy; movement.
