Søren Kierkegaard’s most famous work, Fear and Trembling, has the distinction of drawing near-universal derision from scholars of political theory and ethics. Dr. Dinan suggests that Kierkegaard’s readers haven’t accounted for his return to Socratic political philosophy as a direct riposte to the politics of G.W.F. Hegel and his successors. He considers the implications of Kierkegaard’s use of the ‘questionable stratagem’ of Socratic irony in relation to politics, ethics, Christian faith, and philosophy. Kierkegaard is concerned not with destroying political philosophy, but with restoring its attentiveness to paradox.

“Hello friend of talkPOPc!
I would like to invite you to our amazing happenings on the weekend of Sept 23th and Sept 24th. On both nights we are holding one-to-one philosophy conversations about censorship in our talkPOPc tent; these become episodes on our podcast.
The Saturday, Sept 23rd event is at the Center for Fiction in downtown Brooklyn (@courtyard), and Montez Radio will be live streaming that one. Which is super cool! That’s from 5 pm – 7 pm.
On Sunday, Sept 24th, the happening is at Tomato Mouse Gallery, it will be the more full talkPOPc experience. This includes the visual artworks and text on the same topic of censorship (derived from my book Cover Up the Dirty Parts! Cambridge Scholars Press). There will also be of course the always-present talkPOPc conversation tent, with two separate philosophers – Nicholas Whittaker and myself, Dena Shottenkirk. The times are 2 pm – 6 pm.
The puppet of course makes an appearance at both events!
It would be wonderful if you could make either (or both!) of these events. Please sign up for a time on our website. We are sure you would find it both fun and rewarding.
Hope to see you!”
