Kierkegaard – 200 Years Later: A Commemoration of the Bicentennary of his Birth

The work of SK has not only contributed in a decisive manner to the different areas from which it established itself, that is, Philosophy, Theology and Literature, but, more particularly, it has influenced  a great number of thinkers of diverse inclinations and tendencies, such as Heidegger, Adorno, Wittgenstein, Hannah Arendt, Sartre, Barth e Tillich, as well as Kafka, J. L. Borges and Guimarães Rosa. In this sense, as much for its size as well as for its wealth and scope, such a work remains one of the most fertile sources of modern thought in its diverse manifestations.
