ABSTRACT
Giorgio Penzo's study, Kierkegaard. La verità eterna che nasce nel tempo was published by Edizioni Messaggero in 2000. Through an original and detailed analysis of Kierkegaard's concept of paradox, Penzo not only explores Kierkegaard's inner world, but he also puts the Danish thinker outside the scheme of traditional Western philosophy and theology, in light of a fundamental discrimen between the philosophy of existence and existentialism. From this perspective, Penzo focuses on the single individual's act of decision as the main way for an authentic understanding of temporality that reveals itself in its full meaning only starting from the moment. According to Penzo, in Kierkegaard's view, people should speak of opening to the truth, because not only is it possible to follow the traces of the truth, but the human being's value consists in the sincere effort that he makes to arrive at the truth.
