The legacy of European masters such as Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) is both vast and deep. Each of these writers set out on a journey in the 19th century that took them into uncharted depths within their respective fields - philosophy and literature - in their determination to unravel the complexities of the human soul. The different paths they explored led them to consider life as a core of existentialism, a line of thinking that was ahead of its time and that would come into its own in the 20th century. In the author’s identity as a Mexican-born academic and independent thinker, he offers this modest intervention, pointing out certain correlations in the two writers’ relatively incipient existentialism. In other words, he hopes to show certain parallelisms based on reasoning formulated by both thinkers with respect to the Christian process of becoming more perfect, and its echoes in the transmutation of a se- mi-divine figure such as Quetzalcoatl, whose origins date back to the early years of Mesoamerica’s emergence as one of the cradles of original civilization.
