This paper is an attempt to clash the problem of forgiveness as formulated in contemporary secular and Christian ethics with Kierkegaard’s considerations concerning this issue. Kierkegaard’s thought is increasingly used in the modern debate on forgiveness. It is therefore worth investigating whether Kierkegaard’s considerations are really able to overcome in any way contemporary disputes concerning this problem or enrich our thinking in this area. The main thesis of this paper states that there is a fundamental, ontological difference between Kierkegaard’s understanding of forgiveness and that of modern thinkers. While the Danish philosopher refers to the transcendent reality of spirit, where the act of forgiveness is always performed by God, in contemporary ethical and Christian thought, forgiveness is first and foremost formulated from an immanent point of view that appeals to the world of human values. This difference is demonstrated by analyzing the four main themes corresponding to the most important issues taken up in the contemporary debate on forgiveness. These are: the victim-offender relation, the conditionality and unconditionality of forgiveness, the issue of condonation, and the problem of the unforgivable. As a result of the analyses presented herein, the impossibility of directly applying Kierkegaard’s transcendent theses to ethical thought of the immanent variety will be shown.

宽恕的十字路口：克尔凯郭尔宗教著作中对宽恕的超然理解以及当代世俗和基督教伦理中对宽恕的内在说明

本文试图将当代世俗和基督教伦理中阐述的宽恕问题与克尔凯郭尔对这个问题的考虑进行冲突。克尔凯郭尔的思想越来越多地用于关于宽恕的现代辩论。因此，值得探讨克尔凯郭尔的考虑是否真的能够以任何方式克服当代关于这个问题的争论或丰富我们在这方面的思考。本文的主要论点指出，克尔凯郭尔对宽恕的理解与现代思想家的理解之间存在根本的本体论差异。虽然这位丹麦哲学家提到了精神的超然现实，在当代伦理和基督教思想中，宽恕的行为总是由上帝执行，宽恕首先是从一种内在的观点出发的，这种观点对人类价值世界具有吸引力。通过分析与当代宽恕辩论中所涉及的最重要问题相对应的四个主要主题，可以证明这种差异。它们是：被害人与犯罪者的关系、宽恕的有条件和无条件、宽恕问题和不可宽恕问题。作为本文提出的分析的结果，将显示将克尔凯郭尔的超验论点直接应用于内在多样性的伦理思想是不可能的。受害者与犯罪者的关系、宽恕的有条件和无条件、宽恕问题和不可宽恕的问题。作为本文提出的分析的结果，将显示将克尔凯郭尔的超验论点直接应用于内在多样性的伦理思想是不可能的。受害者与犯罪者的关系、宽恕的有条件和无条件、宽恕问题和不可宽恕的问题。作为本文提出的分析的结果，将显示将克尔凯郭尔的超验论点直接应用于内在多样性的伦理思想是不可能的。
