singular individual, the numerical thing, community, man kind, Christianity, society, depersonalizationAbstract
According to Kierkegaard, the individual, the true individual, faces or confronts the numerical (group, mass, multitude, public, people). Thus, singularity is accentuated over the social. In this sense, the Danish philosopher carried a hard criticism of the associative categories, with the exception of the religious Christian community, because they represent a depersonalization. Therefore, it is possible to talk about an individual-society dialectic in which the former is always qualitatively in front of the latter. The fundamental problem arises from the erroneous application of the associative categories to the religious Christian area, to the extent that mankind has replaced the singular individual with relation to Christianity and God.
