(The thesis, for which this book offers support is Kierkeg...)
The thesis, for which this book offers support is Kierkegaard's claim, that he was a midwife for Christendom. The idea of midwifery is to develop the authors means of an analysis of portions of Platos Meno. That analysis leads to sensitivity in decisions about ascribing views, articulated in the texts, that are considered primarily Philosophical Fragments to Kierkegaard or to his pseudonyms. Consequently, the author of this work, Daise offers detailed textual analysis of the questions, that are explicitly addressed in Philosophical Fragments, in order to show, that what are ostensibly traditional metaphysical and epistemological issues are not those kinds of questions at all and that the formulation of the questions is demanded by the maieutic requirements of the environment, in which Kierkegaard wrote.
