ABSTRACT

Luis Guerrero Martinez’s study begins by arguing that any understanding of Kierkegaard’s work has to take seriously the idea of indirect communication. From Luis Guerrero’s point of view, the ages of life—childhood, youth, and adulthood—in Kierkegaard’s thought are the clear example of the parallelism between the various pseudonymous authors and how they complement each other to clarify the same anthropological basis, although with certain nuances according to the particularities of each pseudonymous author. Luis Guerrero’s point of departure is the idea that can be found in several works of Kierkegaard, namely, that being human is a synthesis of body, soul, and spirit in a free dynamic of self-relationship. Luis Guerrero makes clear how in the works of Kierkegaard there abound constant references to the age of childhood as a relation to this state of original innocence.
