RODRIGUEZ, Pablo Uriel. “Masculine” despair and “feminine” despair: the role of sexuality in Kierkegaard's theory of the self. Tópicos [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.37-40. Epub 01-Ago-2022. ISSN 1666-485X. http://dx.doi.org/10.14409/topicos.v0i43.11895.
In Sickness unto Death Kierkegaard makes a fundamental distinction between two forms of conscious despair in terms of sexual categories: «feminine despair» or despair on weakness (not willing to be oneself) and «masculine despair» or despair on defiance (willing to be oneself). This paper aims (i.) to clarify the previous distinction and (ii.) to establish if Kierkegaard´s authentic self is congruent with an androgynous selfhood.
