Inexactness? Yes, but yet Masterfully Defined : The Role of the Humorous Comic in Concluding Unscientific Postscript
2012
Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between the comic and humor, the border territory to religiousness. It points out the particularity of the comic through which humor manifests itself.
This comic will here be referred to as "the humorous comic." It turns out that this form of the comic differs from the comic used against presumptuous forms of the religious in a crucial respect. It plays a safeguarding role, which makes it impossible for us to interpret it with certainty, and at the same time reminds us of the importance which the comic has both for our attempts to approach the religiousness of hidden inwardness and Christianity, as well as for our attempts to understand Climacus' book on this subject.
