A Oechatter⠝: Language and History in Kierkegaard

by Peter Fenves

Book Overview

This book shows that in "chatter" Kierkegaard uncovered a specifically linguistic mode of negativity, which became the medium in which a non-speculative and non-historicism presentation of history could be carried out. The author examines in detail those writings of Kierkegaard in which he undertook complex negotiations with the threat--and also the promise--of "chatter."
