ABSTRACT
This chapter describes Kierkegaard's conception of becoming subjective as enveloped in a richly aesthetic framework. It offers clarity about the precise ontological content that lies at the heart of becoming. This chapter describes the human capacities that each self, as a particular form, must use to actualize ontological content. Amidst the dialectical structure that orients human becoming, Kierkegaard offers an artistically-rich concept of how such a formation is possible, a view that then adds depth to his development of the aesthetic as a fragmented authorial tactic. With Christ being the content, God's activity is always an element in producing a self, as a type of poesis; yet, as becoming is a dialectical action, human activity is also necessary. The Bible is a 'sign' that points to Christ, thereby ensuring that he is universally available to all no matter one's education or social status.
