Se analiza el concepto kierkegaardiano de angustia en su doble faz: la de sujeto que la padece y la de aquello que la produce, y se muestra cómo se da en ella la conciliación de lo humano con lo divino. La noción de ser humano permite indagar sus vínculos con los conceptos de libertad, posibilidad y elección, mientras que el análisis de la causa de la angustia posibilita cambiar el aire estético de El concepto de la angustia por el aire (...) religioso de Ejercitación del cristianismo.

In this paper we wish to analyze how Kierkegaard understood the art of writing novels, that is, as a way to express and develop the life-view of the author. We would like to argue that this notion, presented for the first time in From the Papers of One Still Living, was put into practice in the short novel Repetition, in which Kierkegaard used the biblical story of Job to explain the development of selfhood through the existential category of repetition. According (...) to Kierkegaard, true repetition—which is the central category of the life-view he is trying to convey—helps the individual “recollect” the past correctly so he or she can reconcile with the present and grow into the future.
