=== Nietzsche and Kierkegaard ===
In his written works, [[Friedrich Nietzsche]] proposed what has been regarded as a philosophy of becoming that encompasses a "naturalistic doctrine intended to counter the metaphysical preoccupation with being", and a theory of "the incessant shift of perspectives and interpretations in a world that lacks a grounding essence".<ref>{{cite book

[[Søren Kierkegaard]] posed questions of individual becoming in [[Christianity]] which were opposed to the ancient Greek philosophers' focus on the indifferent becoming of the [[cosmos]]. However, he established as much of a focus on [[aporia]] as Heraclitus and others previously had, such as in his concept of the [[leap of faith]] which marks an individual becoming.<ref>{{cite book
