Faith in the Romanian Gulag: N. Steinhardt and the
Kierkegaardian Religious
Faith in the Romanian Gulag: N. Steinhardt and the
Kierkegaardian Religious. This essay proposes an incursion into
the spiritual and ideological affinities between Danish
philosopher Søren Kierkegaard and Romanian writer Nicolae
Steinhardt, applying some key concepts of the former to the
work (and biography) of the latter. Starting from episodes or
reflections that are constitutive in the architecture of his
Jurnalul fericirii, the essay will present the ways in which
notions such as paradox, resignation, freedom, sin, courage or
anguish, all semantically recontextualized in the
Kierkegaardian paradigm, materialize specifically in the way
Steinhardt lived his Christian creed.
