KIERKEGAARD AND ADLER: THE MODERN EXPERIENCE OF REVELATION

In this article I would like to offer an analysis of Adler's revelation, taking as reference the theological debates of the time, the reaction of the ecclesiastical authorities to the incident and the diagnosis that Kierkegaard himself proposed in this regard. Such an analysis will allow us to observe the difficulties involved in the appearance of a contemporary revelation in the religious context of modernity, especially after the Enlightenment, and, more specifically, in the face of a rationalist orthodoxy such as that championed by the Danish Church in the 19th century.
