This article aims to shed some light on Kierkegaard's understanding of the human being. Commentators have at times excessively stressed the fideist and irrationalist character of his works. This article attempts to show that Kierkegaard does not approach the human being from those coordinates. The way he deals with despair, childhood and being spirit prevents us from framing his philosophical contribution according to those two axes. His critique of reason as well as the relevance he grants to events and alterity help us to subtly draw near the mistery that each of us is.
