One of the dictionary definitions of the word "explicit" is "unreserved and unambiguous" and it is in this sense that I used the adverb "explicitly." The statement: "Kierkegaard explicitly declared objectivity to be falsehood." is but a more emphatic variation of the statement: "Kierkegaard declared objectivity to be falsehood." Adding emphasis, or even shouting from the roof-top, does not make a true statement false or a false statement true. One may, however, reasonably infer that the statement: "Objectivity is falsehood," in order to be true, must be a subjective statement. If I read Kierkegaard correctly, he implicitly claimed subjectivity for everything that he said. Ernst Meyer
