Abstract

Love and death are two predominate and multifarious themes in Kierkegaard’s authorship. The aim of this paper will be to demonstrate that a coherent, unified understanding of Kierkegaard’s views on love and death can only be attained when the two concepts are brought together and thought in relation to singularity and community. Reading death through love, we will argue that Kierkegaard’s insistence on loving and remembering the dead requires a recognition of the limits of human singularity, which itself enables a new way of understanding life within community-and that love’s repetition proves to be death’s contradiction.
