1 Kierkegaard was twenty-eight at the time of this doctoral dissertation (1841), which is extensively analyzed by Pierre Mesnard in Le Vrai Visage de Kierkegaard (Paris: Beauchesne, 1948, pp. 117-179). The quotations given by the author refer to the German translation of Wilhelm Rutemeyer, Der Begriff der Ironie mit ständiger Rücksicht auf Sokrates, München: Kaiser Verlag, 1929.

7 Ibid., pp. 140-141. Kierkegaard wrote in Der Begriff . . . , p. 159: "In his constant effort transcend the phenomenon by passing into idea, that is to say into his dialectical activity, the individual is repulsed and must beat a retreat toward reality; but reality itself has no other value than to offer him ceaselessly the opportunity to escape from reality, without any possibility that this will occur; the individual is thus led to repress these efforts of subjectivity and to bury them in his personal satisfaction; but it is precisely this attitude which constitutes irony."

In his conclusion (LV, pp. 62-64), Prof. Vlastos very rightly characterizes the naturalism of Democritus as opposed to that of Anaximander and Heraclitus as well as that of Parmenides and Empedocles.
