Rorty and Kierkegaard on Irony and Moral Commitment

The book "Rorty and Kierkegaard on Irony and Moral Commitment" by B. Frazier offers an in-depth analysis of the concept of irony and its relationship to moral commitments. This study highlights the differing perspectives of Richard Rorty and Søren Kierkegaard. Frazier argues that Rorty's approach, although often underestimated by critics, is remarkable in its depth and defensibility. At the same time, it is shown that Rorty's viewpoint is somewhat more limited than Kierkegaard's, leading to an engaging discussion about the philosophical implications of irony and ethics. The book is aimed at readers interested in philosophical questions and the development of moral concepts.
