Majeutyczny autoportret – obraz cz owieka w hermeneutycznej praxis Kierkegaarda (The maieutical self-portrait – the idea of human being in Soren Kierkegaard’s hermeneutical praxis)

From the theologian Wilhelm Herrmann, who influenced both Rudolf Bultmann and Martin Heidegger comes the formulation that we can say about the God only as much as He did to and with us. In the article above I try to show that the same can be said about the human being and its idea: all we can atribute to it is what we have experienced. It means: a theologia experientiae implies an antropologia experientiae, a certain anthropology of experience and from an experience. I try to describe it in relation to the existential maieutics of Kierkegaard. What I claim is: a reliable idea of man is without such an existential maieutics not possible.
