The article offers a look at the thought of Sören Kierkegaard, a 19th century Danish philosopher. Two Kierkegaard's crucial experiences are described and commented on: the death of his father Michael Pedersen Kierkegaard and the breakup with his fiancée Regina Olsen. Despite the widespread idea of ??the impact that these events had on Sören's life, it is argued that, from the existential point of view, there are other conditions that shape Kierkegaard's existentialism and that influence the development of his personality. In that sense, the asymmetrical relationship with God stands out, exposed through the evidence of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, a relationship that is actualized in Soren and his father, although without becoming effective.
