ABSTRACT

The computational method employed in the text thus differs quantitatively, not qualitatively, from other approaches. Abrahim Khan acknowledges this quantitative difference when he compares his method to others, noting that, relative to other approaches, his method contains “greater objectivity, order and methodological rigor.” Khan devotes one chapter to each of the three sets of texts in order to answer the question of whether Kierkegaard’s vocabulary shifts in relation to shifts in the concept. Khan answers the question affirmatively but noting that “there is a definite continuity of meaning within the change, a continuity that rules out any claim to radical change and that serves to sharpen the meaning of the concept.” Khan notes that “there is room to advance further the study of the concept.”.
