The theme purportedly connecting these essays is the relation between form and content, presented in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. For content irrespective of relevance to philosophical style, the most important essay is "The Seducer and the Seduced," about Kierkegaard. Original publication: The Georgia Review, 39 (1985): 353-366.
