Abstract (EN)

Kierkegaard?s epistemology, is relies on faith and everything is interested in existence. The problem of faith is the piece of the existence. Kierkegaard, as a radical fideist, refuses the styles of explanation of the religious propositions from the beginning. In his religious epistemology, belief and wisdom do not exist together. To him, wisdom is insufficient to comprehend the religious truths. So, encarnation, first sin, the existence of God are dogmas. All our knowledge is uncertainity but not the God?s knowledge. For this reason, he builds his own epistemology on an irrasionalist ground. In Kierkegaard?s system, the concepts of subjectivity, individualizm, irrationalism, hopelessness, fideism and existence come out.
