  • MacIntyreʼs Critique of Kierkegaard Revisited
    Blagojević, Bojan, 1980- = Благојевић, Бојан, 1980-
    This essay presents an assessment of MacIntyreʼs thesis that Kierkegaard is not trying to rationally justify morality at all. Using MacIntyreʼs account of Kierkegaardʼs work Either/Or, and comparing ... his interpretation to Kierkegaardʼs works, I aim to show that MacIntyreʼs conclusions are wrong. In doing so, I will provide a different interpretation of Either/Or, while arguing that it is possible to use later Kierkegaardʼs works in that interpretation. Contrary to MacIntyreʼs assertion, Kierkegaard does not change his characterization of the ethical in his later works, but outlines in Either/Or the same problems he will deal with in Fear and Trembling. The foundation of his conception of the ethical lies in his conception of the self, given in The Sickness unto Death. Analyzing this conception of self through Kierkegaardʼs account of the forms of despair, I will argue that the significance of morality lies in delivering the self from various forms of despair. As Kierkegaardʼs thesis on the ubiquity of despair provides a horizon for the debate between the aesthetic and the ethical individual, we can say that the concept of despair provides a basis for his rational justification of morality.
