Kierkegaard's problem of irrationalism is grounded in his description of the incommensurability between faith and knowledge with the concept of paradox(det Paradokos).In contemporary Kierkegaard criticism,different hermeneutic approa-ches offer diverse readings on this issue.Religious-philosophical scholars read it as a Tertullian vision of faith,existentialists read it as a Nietzschean reevaluation of the tradition of Western metaphysics,and moral philosophers read it as reconstructing the paradigm of Kantian deontology.In these interpretations,the contextual element in Kierkegaard's problem of irrationalism,especially its connection to Hegelian philosophy,demonstrates different weights.From the perspective of critical theory,the contextual element is the key to interpretation,namely to read Kierkegaardian paradox as a post-Hegelian dialectics.This pa-per reviews the above four readings and thereby reevaluates the hermeneutic significance of contextual factors,especially Kierkegaard's relation to Hegelian dialectics.In my understanding,the conceptual ground for Kierkegaard's irrationalism lies in the qualitative distinction(qualitative Unterschied)between interiority and exteriority,as opposed to Hegelian dialectics.How-ever,it is exactly the absolutization of the distinction that limits its possibility to be a post-metaphysical dialectics and renders it as a regressive metaphysical standpoint of"ante-rationalism".In this sense,the scope of critical theory reveals the unration-alizable aspect in Kierkegaard's problem of irrationalism.
