Kierkegaard: The Indirect Communication (Studies in Religion and Culture)

This book is a study of the much debated problem of Soren Kierkegaards indirect communication. It approaches the problem however in quite a new way by applying some of the insights of recent literary theory. This study is both a contribution to literary theory in the sense that it seeks to apply it and a suggestion for renewal within phenomenological philosophy. A deconstructive approach to the written work is followed by a phenomenological description of the development of the lived sign. The book is an attempt to investigate a theme concerning individual rights and embodiment that descends from Kant through Edmund Husserl to Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
