Apertura del simposio

Abstract

In this brief speech, the rector of the Universidad Panamericana underlines the not-circumstantial coincidences between Søren Kierkegaard's thought and the founding bases of the Universidad Panamericana. Among these there are the assessment of the individual against the system, the primacy of the person as the conducting string of history and humanity itself, the teaching of an individual truth that converges with a christian life and one that only the individual itself can value as something important to him, the academic labor of the unus versus alia, the purpose of making of each common and ordinary man an unrepeatable individual conscious of himself as existent and thoroughly prepared to take what is truly human into life and action before the mere knowledge.
