In her Ethical Silence, Professor Sergia Hay bestows a compelling and much-needed analysis of Kierkegaard’s axial concept of a 'second ethic.' In addition, the author lays out a groundbreaking account of the connections between this second ethic and Kierkegaard’s pronouncements on both indirect communication and the ethical value of silence. Remarkably, this erudite volume is so clearly and gracefully composed that it warrants a space on the bookshelves of both novice and advanced students of the Danish firebrand.
