José Luis López Aranguren, lector de Kierkegaard

Throughout his fruitful intellectual career, Professor Aranguren not only read, meditated on
and interpreted Kierkegaard, but he also assumed part of his thoughts and integrated them into his
practical philosophy. He approached some fundamental philosophical categories in Kierkegaard’s work,
and tried to systematize them, because in them he saw real possibilities to construct philosophical ethics
on a par with his time, existential ethics capable of captivating contemporary men, away from systematic
treaties and specialised philosophical jargon.
