Special Jubilee Issue of: “Rivista di Filosofia Neo-Scolastica” in Celebration of the 200thAnniversary of Søren Kierkegaard’s Birth.
In the bicentennial year of Søren Kierkegaard’s birth (May 5, 1813 - May 5, 2013) the “Rivista di Filosofia Neo-Scolastica” celebrates the work and influences of the Danish philosopher with a Monographic Issue dedicated to the theme of the “Communication of Existence”, a central topic in the philosopher’s thought. The questions we propose to be addressed include: How is it possible to “communicate”, to “share” a singular existence? Can a singular existence have a universal meaning? What are the limits, and the potential, of a philosophical language? How does Kierkegaard in his multifaceted and original production confront this problem? What kind of language does he employ and, especially, for what purpose?
We welcome contributions from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives – philosophical, theological, psychological or literary – dealing with this topic.
