| Irony: irony is the altered representation of a fact, mostly known, or a statement or attitude that is attributed to a person or a group. In doing so, some, but not all, characteristics of the original information are redesigned in such a way as to give them particular weight. The deviations in the representation are intended to illustrate the attitude of the person who behaves ironically. Irony is supposed to show, consciously or unconsciously, alternatives to a state that is possibly assumed to be self-evident. See also representation, texts, communication, speech act theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Socrates on Irony - Dictionary of Arguments
Bubner I 75 Irony/Socrates/Hegel/Bubner: the Socratic method makes each one think for himself and thus creates a distance to the given immediacy, which is not based on arbitrary intervention. With it the withdrawal of the subjective taking of a stand succeeds. Space is made for the things themselves. The dogmatism of one-sided aspects destroys itself. Thus the dialectic allows everything to be valid, and the inner destruction to develop from it. >Dialectic._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
