520 |a Kierkegaard is considered in light of the contemporary debate over rationality and relativism, especially as it pertains to his understanding of human moral existence. He is interpreted as providing a philosophical anthropology as a basis for affirming responsible personhood. The Kantian and, more briefly, the Hegelian and Aristotelian influence on his views are discussed, and it is argued that Kierkegaard draws on these to formulate a view of the universally human as the potential possessed by each individual which is to be actualized. This view is distinguished from, yet encompasses, the human being as "subjective actuality" which is relative to each individual, and as "empirical actuality," which is peripheral and variable. Finally, his view of essential humanness is interpreted as formulated by employing a "radical empiricism" of the lived-experience of actually searching for a meaningful perspective on human "praxis," a "method" that draws on a comprehensive conception of rationality.
