Kierkegaard gained the shelves of world literature by describing, with recognized mastery, just the "most frequent form of despair in the world." The aesthetic writings deal with both a great satirical and iconoclastic caricature of the man of his time - Denmark and all European philosophy and culture of the nineteenth century - as well as a fixed portrait, according to his criticism, of the most thoughtless way of life that existence. Nevertheless, this was scarcely taken into account and prejudiced the very hermeneutic reading of his aesthetic writings. This work attempts to demonstrate, therefore, how of the three forms of Despair described by AntiClimacus in The Sickness Unto Death, the first and most common coincides exactly with the romantic descriptions of the esthete. This leads us to the conclusion that the texts referring to this way of life had a philosophical intention instead of being, as in recurrent comprehension, simple literalism emptied.
