Descripción
Sumario:In 1841, the young Danish philosopher Kierkegaard, then under 30 years old, wrote his thesis entitled The Concept of Irony With Continual Reference to Socrates. In the first part of the work, the thinker presents us with Socratic irony, drawing especially on ancient interpretations such as those of Xenophon, Plato, and Aristophanes, as well as historiographical references such as Diogenes Laertius, Hegel, Schleiermacher, and other thinkers on Socratic issues. In the second part of the work, the author dedicates himself to better elucidating the link between Socratic irony and nihilism, as can be seen in some of the Romantic writers, and there he forges Kierkegaard's concept of dominated irony, which will be fundamental to his interpretation of irony, nihilism, and doubt. Thus, the aim of this article will be to address irony and nihilism in Kierkegaard in view of the present work and some of its repercussions.
