Publisher's Synopsis
Kierkegaard published his work under a series of bizarre pseudonyms and his writing is infused with a comic and ironic tone. This work explores why he adopted this peculiar form for his philosophy and argues that Kierkegaard was attempting to signal his radical departure from traditional forms of philosophy. The study re-examines Kierkegaard's philosophy in light of the modern European thinking of figures such as Nietzsche, Heidegger and Derrida, which has sought to overcome, or end, philosophy.
