ABSTRACT
El filósofo impertinente is a general overview of Søren Kierkegaard's life and work in accessible and common language. Goñi's work nevertheless is far from achieving its purposes. First, the work is philosophically vague and inexact, shows a notable ignorance of Kierkegaard's philosophical context, and repeats a series of clichés about the author that transforms him into a sort of frenzied irrationalist. Second, the study portrays Kierkegaard as a kind of hero and savior of his time. Finally, the study makes intolerable errors such as attributing Works of Love to Anti-Climacus, and, even though the author continuously quotes the original Danish titles, he uses the old Spanish translation of the text without correcting their numerous errors. In short, El filósofo impertinente starts the good task of rescuing the figure of Kierkegaard from oblivion and error, but nevertheless the work betrays Kierkegaard's thought and repeats the prejudices and confused imagery that dominated Kierkegaardian exegesis in previous decades.
