Abstract

In studies of Kierkegaard and Jewish tradition, discussion of the Kierkegaardian analysis of Isaac's aqedah is common. However, a decisive aspect of Kierkegaard's anthropology is the problem of the experience of time. In this article, we will discuss two antagonistic ways of experiencing time: the despair of corrosive time versus the confidence that comes from a time within eternity. We will analyze the relationship between Kierkegaard's anthropology and the Hebrew notion of time that emerges from the cosmogonic account of Genesis 2 by examining three Kierkegaardian existential categories: the instant, repetition and contemporaneity with oneself. Starting from the torah and a note by Kierkegaard on Jewish time written in 1837, we will discuss the mysteries and dramas of the experience of time within an anthropology of the redemption of man and time.
