Abstract

The choice of oneself is the cornerstone of the ethical theory expounded in the second volume of Either/Or. The aim of this paper is to cast light on the meaning of this choice by showing its connection to other central topics in Kierkegaard’s thought (such as subjective truth, aesthetic life and despair) and to his strategy of indirect communication. The relationship between Kierkegaard’s philosophical thought and his religious beliefs is also considered at the end of the paper.
