- Title
Pseudonymous Voices Talking Back: Kierkegaard's Plural Perspectives and a Wittgensteinian Point of View.
- Authors
Kaasgaard, Stine Zink
- Abstract
The question of Kierkegaard's use of pseudonyms is an old one. This article does not aim to add any suggestions as to what may or may not have been the idea behind writing pseudonymously, or what kind of strategy it supposedly fulfilled. It aims, rather, at considering what it would mean to let the pseudonyms speak. The question then becomes: can we maintain the plurality of different perspectives, pronounced by all these voices, and still be able to maintain meaning? It is in lieu of this problem that some of Wittgenstein's late notions of seeing and seeing aspects are introduced as a possible manner of retaining meaning, without insisting on meaning as such.
