Abstract

Abstract This paper argues for a Kierkegaardian account of personal identity in dialogue with MacIntyre, Korsgaard, Frankfurt, Ricœur, and Marion. I engage with the scholarly debate on Kierkegaard’s relationship to practical and narrative accounts of the self and argue that he criticizes the ideal of self-authorship because authentic selfhood must be co-authored with others and embedded in the narrative setting and history that is provided by facticity. Moreover, this relation to facticity requires ethical commitment and existential faith. The phenomenology of the call can show how such commitment and faith overcomes self-alienation by synthesizing the passive and active aspects of selfhood.
对自我的呼唤:克尔凯郭尔、叙事统一与个人同一性的实现
摘要本文在与麦金泰尔、科斯加德、法兰克福、Ricœur和马里恩的对话中论证了克尔凯郭尔式的个人同一性。我参与了关于克尔凯郭尔与自我的实践和叙述的关系的学术辩论,并认为他批评了自我创作的理想,因为真实的自我必须与他人共同创作,并嵌入到由事实性提供的叙事背景和历史中。此外,这种与真实性的关系需要伦理承诺和存在主义信仰。召唤的现象学可以展示这种承诺和信仰如何通过综合自我的被动和主动方面来克服自我异化。
