The paradox is an a-synthetic unity of the opposites, qualifying the speculative nucleus of modern philosophy. We can consider two forms of paradoxical tension: the explosive one (Pascal, Kierkegaard), which takes away the terms without making the relationship to break down; the other implosive (Kant, Schelling), which gets the terms close preventing their synthesis. Distinguishing between finiteness and sin, Kierkegaard complicates the finite-infinite nexus to avoid the outcome of hegelian mediation, but he excludes the paradox from the original ontological constitution, although he regards the paradox as an ontological determination.
Beyond Kierkegaard, the last Schelling places the paradox in God himself, when he analyzes the intradivine otherness, first according to the temporal determination through the figure of an eternal and becoming God, then in a strictly ontological sense, thinking of the freedom of the existing as it emerges from the relationship with a doubly accidental necessity.
