Both/And is a new interpretation of Kierkegaard's writings which
attempts to make sense of a very diverse authorship by offering a
comprehensive interpretation of both Kierkegaard's so-called
aesthetic and his religious writings. Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
stands for a turning point in philosophy from a systematic
philosophy - which, with its focus on objectivity, attempts to
place itself on the secure path of science - to a "philosophy" that
focuses its attention in subjectivity and openly acknowledges
itself as fragmentary and provisional. Strawser examines
Kierkegaard's works as religious, aesthetic/poetic, and
philosophical and argues that irony runs through both the aesthetic
and the religious works - indeed, Kierkegaard referred to himself
as the Magister of Irony. But Strawser goes beyond these boundaries
to draw in the interpretation of Kierkegaard's writing not a line
which cuts off the aesthetic from the religious, but connects them.
This is what Strawser calls the line from irony to edification.
This line is the line of both/and, the line of connection. Strawser
addresses the problematic but natural relationship between
Kierkegaard and postmodernism and offers exciting possibilities.
Strawser believes that contemporary postmodern philosophical
considerations aid a critical reading of Kierkegaard, but such a
reading must not be overwhelmed by them. Such a comprehensive
reading is what Strawser offers the reader in Both/And.
