Kierkegaard and the Figure of the Philistine: a Negative Way of Highlighting Existence
In this paper, I propose a study of the figure of the philistine ( Spidsborgeren ) as the embodiment of spiritlessness in Kierkegaard.

| Resumo: | In this paper, I propose a study of the figure of the philistine ( Spidsborgeren ) as the embodiment of spiritlessness in Kierkegaard. Indeed, although the pseudonyms aim at representing all the possibilities of existence, declining at the same time the diverse degrees of inwardness, the philistine appears throughout the whole work as the very paradigm of the lack of inwardness. While this figure stands as a kind of antipseudonym , I thus argue that it plays a decisive role in Kierkegaard, because it enables him to constitute and to structure, in a negative way, his philosophy of existence. |
