The answer follows promptly. A human self is a relationship that relates to itself. This self-relationship has been posited by an other (Andet) or a power (Magt). By relating to itself, this self-relationship thereby relates to this other or power. This paper aims to clarify what it means for the self to be a derived self-relation. To achieve this goal, it analyzes the first two chapters of Anti-Climacus’ book. This analysis is grounded in Kiekegaard’s reflections on the interplay between human freedom and divine omnipotence.“¿Qué es el ser humano?” y “¿Qué es el yo?”. Con estas preguntas, Anti-Climacus, el famoso pseudónimo de Kierkegaard, inicia La enfermedad mortal (1849). La respuesta no se hace esperar. El yo humano es una relación que se relaciona consigo misma. Esta auto-relación ha sido puesta por un otro (Andet) o un poder (Magt) y al relacionarse consigo misma se relaciona con este otro o este poder. Este artículo intenta clarificar qué significa para el yo ser una auto-relación derivada. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se propone analizar los dos primeros capítulos del libro de Anti-Climacus. Este análisis se basa en las reflexiones de Kierkegaard en torno a la interacción entre la libertad humana y la omnipotencia divina.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú - Departamento de Humanidades2025-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/arete/article/view/32983Areté; Vol. 37 Núm. 2 (2025); 441-4632223-37411016-913Xreponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/arete/article/view/32983/28440http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/329832025-12-25T17:38:47Z
