Modernity
Soren Kierkegaard: Subjectivity, Irony, and the Crisis of
Modernity examines the thought of Soren Kierkegaard, a unique

statement as its point of departure. Jon Stewart explores what
Kierkegaard meant by this and to show how different aspects of his
writing and argumentative strategy can be traced back to Socrates.
