Humour and Irony in Kierkegaard’s Thought Hardback
by John Lippitt
Hardback
Description
Irony, humour and the comic play vital yet under-appreciated roles in Kierkegaard's thought.
Focusing upon the Concluding Unscientific Postscript, this book investigates these roles, relating irony and humour as forms of the comic to central Kierkegaardian themes.
How does the comic function as a form of 'indirect communication'?
What roles can irony and humour play in the infamous Kierkegaardian 'leap'?
Do certain forms of wisdom depend upon possessing a sense of humour? And is such a sense of humour thus a genuine virtue?
