Summary:This paper seeks to interpret Fear and Trembling’s paradox of faith together with Kant’s examination of the problem of freedom, in order to reconcile Kierkegaard’s thought with rationalism, but at the same time, to enrich the latter with a more existential language. It argues that, at the ground of all ethics, a certain experience beyond the limits of reason is found, albeit not an irrational one. === El siguiente trabajo busca interpretar la paradoja de la fe presente en Temor y temblor a la luz de la problemática kantiana en torno a la libertad, de tal modo que podamos reconciliar el pensamiento de Kierkegaard con el racionalismo, pero al mismo tiempo, enriquecer a este último con un discurso de carácter existencial. Sostendremos que a la base de toda ética se encuentra una experiencia más allá de los límites de la razón, pero no por ello irracional.
