Salvation as the teleological vector in kierkegaard’s practice in christianity

Abstract

© 2020, Ecozone, OAIMDD. All rights reserved. The dialectic of the relationship between Philosophy and Theology in S. Kierkegaard‟s work often hides multi-layered contents that oscillate in one direction or another in their emphasis. In this study, we focus on the theological grasp of the key concept of salvation to which Kierkegaard gives an irreplaceable place in the practice in Christianity. We assert that his theology is based on the existential dimension of the individual being rather than the rational prisms of Systematic theology that dominated in his times. Kierkegaard‟s absolute paradox in his theology of salvation becomes here not the starting point for argumentation in favour of Christianity, but rather the teleological perspective of the motivational mode for all levels of individual existence in its way to salvation embraced by eternity.
