Il singolo e l'uguaglianza di tutti gli uomini

Kierkegaard’s attention for the "single individual" doesn’t imply any individualism or incommunicability, but the acknowledgement that all men, as "single individuals ", are able to exercise "the art of existence". In Either/Or "the building" is equally attainable for all; in the first of the Two Upbuilding Discourses 1843 the "victory of faith" implies the equality of all men; in Philosophical crumbs is asserted that men of every time are all "contemporary" of the Christian event, and in The Concept of Anxiety the "original sin" is committed by every man. In the Concluding Unscientific Postscript the task of "becoming Christian" is equally "difficult" and equally "possible" for all; in fact, the "communication of existence", definition of Christianity, can’t tolerate a "more" and a "less", but helps every man to become self-conscious in front of God. The equality of all men is the main theme and the hermeneutic cornerstone to understand Kierkegaard.
