On this paper, we seek to analyze how Kierkegaard’s pseudonym, the aesthete A, defines the aesthetic stage with and without reflection. On this way, we will aim to do it by giving also importance to how the paradox presents itself on this way of living and not only on the religious one, with faith and Christ, like it’s commonly understood. We sectioned the paper in four parts: 1) Joy x Happiness; 2) Either-or; 3) Desire; 4) The masculine aesthetic.
