We read the conclusion to Soren Kierkegaard's On the Concept of Irony (1841), "Irony as a Controlled Element, the Truth of Irony." The discussion starts with the role of irony in good art, and then moves on to discuss the proper role of irony as an existential strategy in a well-grounded, thoughtful life. Read along with us, starting at PDF p. 321. Get all Closereads episodes ad-free at patreon.com/closereadsphilosophy. The post Ep. 329: Kierkegaard on Irony (Part Three for Supporters/Closereads Part One) first appeared on The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast.
