Indiana University Press20131 online resource (260 p.)Indiana series in the philosophy of religionDescription based upon print version of record.0-253-00647-3 Includes bibliographical references (p. 235-239) and index.A pretense of irrationalism -- Paradoxical rationality -- Reverse theology -- The subtle power of simplicity -- A critique of indirect communication -- The figure of Socrates and the climacean capacity of paradoxical reason -- The figure of Socrates and the downfall of paradoxical reason -- The proof of paradoxical reason.Richard McCombs presents Søren Kierkegaard as an author who deliberately pretended to be irrational in many of his pseudonymous writings in order to provoke his readers to discover the hidden and paradoxical rationality of faith. Focusing on pseudonymous works by Johannes Climacus, McCombs interprets Kierkegaardian rationality as a striving to become a self consistently unified in all its dimensions: thinking, feeling, willing, acting, and communicating. McCombs argues that Kierkegaard's strategy of feigning irrationality is sometimes brilliantly instructive, but also partly misguided.
