This book deals with the relation between faith and history in Kierkegaard’s Philosophical Fragments. According to the author, there is a fundamental lack of clarity among scholars on this subject. It is like having an elephant in your living room and not addressing the very fact of its presence. I thought that using the shadow of an elephant cast against a living-room wall would add to the surreal quality of this notion.
