Der Rückstoß Der Methode/ the Backlash of the Method

This study is the first comprehensive presentation of Kierkegaard's method of an indirect communication from a philosophical perspective. The indirect communication is described as Kierkegaard's method of thinking. Indirect communication not only represents a form of broken communication but also a theory on the limits of language and concept and a counterconcept to the systematically hermetic form. Here Kierkegaard's place in history becomes evident in the constellation of change of post-idealism. In total, he emancipates himself from Schelling's and Hegel's systematic form and already points the way to Nietzsche and Derrida.
