Abstract
The solitary nucleus of the Kierkegaardian subject reduced existential selfhood from its very beginnings to an atomistic and Eleatic position. I wish to contend that this isolated self may not be easily reduced to an amoral self. Rather, this irreducibility or separation of the subject establishes the condition for any ethical demand. Even though this claim may finally reach beyond Kierkegaard, I argue that it provides us with a basis for all existential ethics.
