Drawing on a wide range of writings, this original work offers a novel way of approaching the concepts of fall, repetition and freedom. More specifically, it explores the interrelationship between the notions of the fall, repetition and freedom focusing primarily on the writings of Kierkegaard and secondarily on those of Kant, St. Augustine and Schelling.Pivotal to this project is a reinterpretation of Kierkegaard's notion of 'taking notice' and its elevation to the status of a central principle with the aid of which various conceptualisations of freedom, repetition and the fall become accessible. This primary interest is furthermore linked to an investigation of the emergence of different aspects of human singularity and of the divine. In this respect, particular emphasis is given the special relationship between the human and divine, which in Kierkegaard takes the form of what in the present work is termed 'double contemporaneity', a concept coined to describe the peculiar relationship between the single individual and divinity that culminates in the sacrificial expression of divine and human love.
