Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self?

Man is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity,...

In his praise for Part I of Upbuilding Discourses in Various Spirits, the eminent Kierkegaard scholar Eduard Geismar said, "I am of the opinion that nothing of what he has written is to such a degree before the face of God. Anyone who really wants to understand Kierkegaard does well to begin with it." These discourses, composed after Kierkegaard had initially intended to end his public writing career, constitute the first work of his "second authorship."

Este tratado del filósofo dinamarqués es el primero de los veinte Discursos edificantes de diverso tenor, que vieron la luz en Copenhague el 13 de marzo de 1843. Más que un tratado, es la oración de un penitente que en soledad y recogimiento interior ruega para que en su corazón se cumpla el deseo de querer de verdad una sola cosa: el Bien, única eternidad en el tiempo que se aplica y resiste a todos los cambios.
Deseo ignorado o siempre postergado,...

Provocations contains a little of everything from Kierkegaard's prodigious output: his famously cantankerous (yet wryly humorous) attacks on what he calls the "mediocre shell" of conventional Christianity, his brilliantly pithy parables, his wise (and witty) sayings. Most significantly, it brings to a new generation a man whose writings pare away the fluff of modern spirituality to reveal the basics of the Christ-centered life: decisiveness, obedience,...
