Verità e storia in Søren Kierkegaard

[Autom. eng. transl.] The eschatological discourse, the possibility of speaking of a time understood as "waiting time", seems to be based in Kierkegaard on a real philosophy of history. The question with which the crumbs of philosophy open - whether it is legitimate to build an eternal beatitude on historical knowledge, the event of the Incarnation - presupposes a meditation on the nature of historical knowledge itself: a meditation that necessarily invests that "notion uncomfortable "which is the past, which is no longer and yet continues to act as a" present absence ". Through an ontological analysis of becoming, Kierkegaard identifies in the non-necessity of what is historical - its always active possibility - the vital nucleus of the past, or its "lived sense". And it is in order to preserve this lived sense that sacred history must use for the philosopher the communicative style of the poetic story, in which "appropriation", "for you", is the fundamental category: Mutato homine de te fabula narratur .
