Abstract

Bård Aaberge traces existential engagements with paradoxical alterity by following Kierkegaard's notion "truth is paradox". By aligning himself to Roy Gibson's revelatory epistemology, truth shifted from being objective and intellectual to something beyond words that prompted existential change. The analysis of Roy's dreams and deeds derives from the author's faith in Ancestral agency.
