Abstract

RODRIGUEZ, Pablo Uriel. THE CONCEPT OF MODESTY IN KIERKEGAARD: AN ANALYSIS OF THE SEXUATE CONDITION IN THE CONCEPT OF ANXIETY. Univ. philos. [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.72, pp.251-277. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uph36-72.cpks.

Despite of the extraordinary variety of studies on Kierkegaard's philosophy, his concept of modesty has not received enough attention. My paper aims to present and analyze Kierkegaard's concept of modesty, as it is developed in The Concept of Anxiety (1844) by his pseudonym Vigilius Haufniensis. First, I will try to provide an understanding of some of the major themes of Haufniensis's book (spirit, task, anxiety). Second, I examine what the psychological phenomenon of modesty reveals about the subjective structure of the human being.

Keywords : Kierkegaard; modesty; sexuality; spirit; intersubjectivity.
