Kierkegaard and Negative Phenomena

This session explores the centrality of “the negative” in Søren Kierkegaard’s authorship, attending to its philosophical, theological, and literary dimensions. This panel investigates the constitutive role of negation—understood not merely as a logical operation, but first and foremost as an existential movement manifested in phenomena such as anxiety, absurdity, irony, offense, despair, and silence.
