ABSTRACT
This work is a general overview of Kierkegaard's thought as interpreted by the Thomist philosopher and theologian Cornelio Fabro (1911-95). The study is based on Fabro's Italian translation of Kierkegaard's works, especially Kierkegaard's journals. It uses Fabro's hermeneutical keys, notably Catholicism and Thomism, in order to offer a personal version of the Dane that focuses on the concept of freedom as well as the individual's self-constitution, which is developed through a creative-existential process generated by decision and faith in relation to God. The study offers an overview of Kierkegaard's thought through a conceptual reflection which links together several of his central themes through a reading of the journals. The exposition emphasizes the elements that generate the existential dynamic where subjectivity is constructed through a continuous process of self-becoming. It employs a terminology which aims at bringing Kierkegaard closer to the idealist approach by qualifying his thinking as a metaphysics of freedom.
