This article examines Kierkegaard’s discourse “At a Graveside” from Three Discourses on Imagined Occasions. It is argued that this text illustrates Kierkegaard’s special way of presenting his ideas. The discourse is interdisciplinary with elements of literature, philosophy, and theology. But this is not to say that it is a literary, philosophical, or theological work. Rather, it is a combination of all these that defies categorization in the conventional genres. Moreover, it is argued that an important part of Kierkegaard’s way of (...) writing in “At a Graveside” is connected to his well-known emulation of Socrates. (shrink)
