ABSTRACT

Given the consistency with which the Kierkegaardian self thus manages to succeed against its Nietzschean rival, it could be asked: does the former show certain key superiorities over the latter that, as it were, inform and make possible the above successes? The answer to this is, I think, 'yes' - and the superiorities in question centre on Kierkegaard's and Nietzsche's competing conceptions of equality and power. A delineation of these, therefore, will be my final task.
