Resumo: This article aims to analyze the category of love as duty based on the thinking of Søren Kierkegaard and the philosopher's considerations regarding Christian love in comparison to human love. In order to understand the concept of duty as an essential element conditioned to the practice of Christian love according to Kierkegaard, and to comprehend how this principle is expressed through Christianity's greatest commandment, we will examine passages from the book Works of Love (1847), considered one of the greatest manifestos of love ever written and published, its reflection on love has revolutionized the approach to the subject in both philosophy and literature, and analyze how the pre-determination of love by God would enable the human being to fulfill the love for their neighbor in their existence. In our research, we found that, according to the philosopher, Christian love is solely realized as duty, while the neighbor reveals itself in any and every individual who presents themselves into existence for the one seeking to love their fellow being. Thus, the Christian's ultimate purpose for Kierkegaard is to become a neighbor to their neighbor, as wherever there is a neighbor, love will always be necessary.

Com o intuito de entender-se o conceito de dever como elemento condicionado à prática do amor cristão para Kierkegaard, e compreender de que forma esse princípio se expressa através do maior mandamento do cristianismo, examinaremos algumas passagens contidas no livro As Obras do Amor (1847), considerado um dos maiores manifestos de amor já escritos e publicados, cuja reflexão acerca do amor revolucionou a abordagem sobre o tema tanto na filosofia, quanto na literatura, e analisaremos de que forma a pré-determinação do amor por Deus seria o fator que tornaria possível a realização do amor ao próximo pelo ser humano em sua existência. Em nossa pesquisa, encontramos que, segundo o filósofo, o amor cristão se realiza unicamente enquanto dever, enquanto o próximo se revelaria em todo e qualquer indivíduo que se apresente à existência daquele que deseja amar ao seu semelhante. Dessa forma, o propósito maior do cristão para Kierkegaard seria o de transformar-se no próximo de seu próximo, pois onde há um próximo, o amor sempre se fará necessário.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2023-10-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/6287210.23925/2236-9937.2023v30p58-87TEOLITERARIA - Revista de Literaturas e Teologias; v. 13 n. 30 (2023): Aproximações e interpelações diversas da literatura sobre tempo e eternidade, amor e ódio, identidade humana e animalidade, espiritualidade e prática ao fazer teológico; 58-872236-9937reponame:Teoliteráriainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/62872/43387https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/62872/43456Copyright (c) 2023 TEOLITERARIA - Revista de Literaturas e Teologiashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, Douglas FerreiraTavarnez, Sorel Celeste2023-10-13T19:16:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/62872Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/teoliterariaPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/teoliteraria/oaialex@teoliteraria.com||teoliteraria@teoliteraria.com2236-99372236-9937opendoar:2023-10-13T19:16:19Teoliterária - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
