Abstract

This chapter talks about the book Don Juan, Fausto e o Judeu Errante em Kierkegaard, by the author Guiomar de Grammont. The book gained considerable importance with regard to the consolidation of aesthetic studies on Kierkegaard in Brazil, being one of the first dissertations on this topic in this country. In her book, Grammont offers a detailed reading of Kierkegaard's work through an aesthetic approach, and her appropriation of the philosophy of the Danish author is quite in keeping with her literary training. Although Grammont's point of view in her analysis of Kierkegaard's texts is delineated aesthetically, she cannot avoid understanding the limits of the aesthetic sphere for Kierkegaard's task of becoming an individual; the aesthetic stage must be understood as a necessary moment of existence that nevertheless points beyond itself. Finally, the relevance of Grammont's book in the Kierkegaard literature in Portuguese should be pointed out again, particularly with regard to aesthetic studies in Kierkegaard in philosophy and literature.
