Abstract

BRAVO, Nassim. Kierkegaard and The Master-Thief Project (1834-1835): The Rebel Outcast and The Established Order. Eidos [online]. 2020, n.32, pp.281-308. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.32.198.9.

In the years 1834 and1835, Kierkegaard, still a 21-year-old student at the University of Copenhagen, became interested in the mythical character known as the master-thief. He then decided to work on a drama about this character and his struggle against the established order. With this in mind, the paper has two main objectives. First, to offer a complete account of the so-called master-thief project. Kierkegaard’s notes on the master-thief have remained in a relative obscurity. This paper aims at exposing this little-known work of the Danish thinker to the Spanish-speaking reader. Second, to analyze the philosophical question raised in the master thief project, that is, the issue about the relationship of the rebel and marginalized individual with the established order.

Keywords : Søren Kierkegaard; individual; subjectivity; master-thief; myth; Danish literature.
