In Problema III, Kierkegaard takes up the problem of concealment and explores the question of whether it is ethical to remain silent. Is moral community possible without linguistic communication? Give a careful interpretation of Kierkegaard’s exploration of this question in Problema III.

You must save and submit your rough drafts. If you do not submit all your drafts and notes your essay will not be accepted and the late penalty will apply until you hand in all the notes and drafts.

Your paper will be graded on the depth, clarity, and eloquence of your account. You are not giving a mere summary of the thinker in question but offering a thoughtful interpretation based on textual evidence and your own ideas. Use your own words to explicate the text. (To explicate means to describe the text in your own words to further your own understanding and to explain the text and your interpretation as clearly as you can to your reader.)
