Abstract
Cornelio Fabro has criticized Jaspers for having connected Kierkegaard's and Nietzsche's ideas in such a way that the first one tumed in to an "incredulous". On the contrary, we think that in spite of reaching different goals, these thinkers share a common ground: the necessity to surpass the crisis of the time they lived in. In this sense, the speculative idealism is the main enemy for both philosophers. The articulation of Kierkegaard's criticisms allows us to analyze the evolution of the Christian question from first half to the end of XIX century. While Kierkegaard was able to observe the crisis of the Danish protestant Christianity and tried to find a solution for it, Nietzsche conceived Christianity like the worse of evils of the western civilization, a synonym to "declining nihilism" that was to be overcome. This anide the aim is to analyze the conception of "Christianity" maintained by each philosopher, with the purpose of showing that the opposition to the hegelian pretension of the absolute knowledge lead to the establishment of the "finite and particular subjectivity" not determined by the necessity but by the search of freedom.
