Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Kierkegaard conceives man as a relational being. The human self is determined at the same time as a relationship to itself, a relationship to the other and a relationship to God. These three relationships condition and determine each other reciprocally. In my opinion, what can best understand and explain this relationship is the conception of man as a being that can be determined through love. And therefore it is interesting to see if in the universe of Kierkegaardian thought it is possible to find a "constant of love", a characteristic in love, which remains unchanged even if love itself shows itself in many different forms and relationships. I believe it is so. And it is precisely this "constant of love" that gives love a kind of power or strength to make perfect a relationship that is otherwise characterized by a certain imperfection, both in the relationship to itself, as well as in our relationship with God and with God. 'other. This strength is manifested above all in the capacity of love to cover many sins.
