Keywords:

nihilism, paradox, existential, epistemic, finitude, temporal and eternal

Abstract

For the present work I will to describe the problem of nihilism in Kierkegaard according to the categories of transitoriness, eternity and finitude. I will specially appeal to the texts The sickness unto death, The concept of anxiety and Fear and Trembling, besides of the ideas of some interpreters who have discussed about it. By the other hand, I will try to see how this problema can give some clues for understanding, what I will designate, the paradox in existential sense and the paradox epistemic sense, taking as a basic assumption the Abraham’s encounter.
