This stance has led the author to be categorized as conservative, seeking to preserve a status quo that was in his favor. He also rejects the thesis that societies progress in such a way that they might one day achieve utopia, a society where inequalities are but a distant memory. For him, power relations do not disappear over the course of history; rather, they simply transform into more subtle mechanisms, where values become representations without being truly embodied by individuals. In this context, he considers neighborly love—in its intersubjective aspect—to be a form of everyday resistance, that is to say a way of recognizing the other as a subject when they are reified or instrumentalized. However, we will take a step back from Kierkegaard’s claim that his ethics is apolitical, and instead examine the political potential of what we could call the minima amoris acta. sam., 17 janv. 2026 21:03:26 +0100 dim., 18 janv. 2026 22:02:55 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1633
