Abstract

Although the concept of recollection does not draw attention so recurrently when it comes to the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard, on a closer reading, we realize that the philosopher subtly, but frequently, mentions both: the concept of memory and the recollection in its authorship. This proves that memory is not only a movement opposed to repetition, as we sometimes limit ourselves to think, but that it is important and has a particular potency in the development of individuality in the presence of the eternal in time. In these pages I propose an incursion into the thought of Søren Kierkegaard, with the aim of analyzing and understanding the “force of recollection” its relationship with repetition, repentance, and eternity, emphasizing its relevance in the narrative of singularity.
