Abstract

The points that emerged in the discussion of the previous chapters concerning the narrator’s role and the presuppositional aspects of discursive world construction are here used to examine the epistemic aspect and narrative configuration of a particular philosophical text, Søren Kierkegaard’s Either/Or (Parts I and II) (1987) [1843], with special reference to Part I.

What is visible hides something else that is visible.

—René Magritte
