Rorty and Kierkegaard on Irony and Moral Commitment: Philosophical and Theological Connections

By Brad Frazier

Book Overview

This book seeks to clarify the concept of irony and its relation to moral commitment. Frazier provides a discussion of the contrasting accounts of Richard Rorty and S ren Kierkegaard. He argues that, while Rorty's position is much more defensible and thoughtful than his detractors acknowledge, it is surprisingly more parochial than Kierkegaard's.
