PROTASIO, Myriam Moreira. The Kierkegaard's psychology indicated in some of his books. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.2, pp. 213-220. ISSN 1809-6867.

The possibility of associating the thought of Kierkegaard with psychology, although not new, deserves clarification. This paper aims to take a step in this direction by considering the work of Kierkegaard as a whole and, in particular, three of his works, which bring words like: A simple psychologically orienting deliberation; A Christian psychological exposition; essay in experimental psychology. Since Kierkegaard has associated a Psychological science with "skillful knowledge of human life and friendliness with their interests", the work will try to articulate what is this psychology. What matters, to Kierkegaard, is the each one life in its task to eternally justifying himself or herself. Your effort is directed toward taking again the life while the peculiarity of the each one life, my life, that always relates to the universality of the life. The work will highlight the way that Kierkegaardian's psychology project is associated with a phenomenology, by pointing the inability to understand the existential types from universal categories. Finally, this text announces the relationship between Kierkegaard's psychology and the possibility of an existential transformation.
