--- as per study by K. Ramsland (of New Jersey). She focuses on Kierkegaard's idea of "indirect communication".
From the Stanford entry on Kierkegaard:
"Kierkegaard's “method of indirect communication” was designed to sever the reliance of the reader on the authority of the author and on the received wisdom of the community. The reader was to be forced to take individual responsibility for knowing who s/he is and for knowing where s/he stands on the existential, ethical and religious issues raised in the texts."
From another online source:
"His arsenal of rhetoric includes irony, satire, parody, humor, polemic and a dialectical method of “indirect communication” – all designed to deepen the reader’s subjective passionate engagement with ultimate existential issues."
Ah well -- the Danish Grice, then.
