ABSTRACT
L'etica di Kierkegaard nella Postilla, published in 1971 by Giappichelli Editore, represents the manuscript of the second lecture series on Kierkegaard's ethics given by Luigi Pareyson at the University of Turin. Already in his first study on Kierkegaard's ethics, it is clear that Pareyson ascribes a crucial role to the Postscript, which, according to him, marks the beginning of the second phase of Kierkegaard's authorship. The second chapter, entitled The Categories of the Moral Life, begins with the following sentence: It is time to see how the categories, with which Christianity can effectively defend itself against Hegelian speculation, are the very same which make ethics possible. In this second study on Kierkegaard's ethics, Pareyson therefore treats the issue of second ethics by means of Kierkegaard's major philosophical writing, that is, the Postscript, without expanding his discourse either to Works of Love or to the subsequent Christian writings, which Pareyson probably did not read.
