The philosophical content of Kierkegaard's work is developed in the form of an ironical, humorous jest in which Climacus pretends to invent a philosophical view that he claims cannot be humanly invented, and which bears a strong resemblance to Christian faith. The invention is proposed as an alternative to “the Socratic view” of the Truth that, if possessed...

There really isn't much material available dealing with bus and motorcoach safety. Most of it is about compliance with regulations, which doesn't deal with the day-to-day challenges of operating a fleet. Or it is material borrowed from the occupational health & safety side, which doesn't apply very well, because commercial vehicles are not traditional worksites.And much of it tends to be fussy, technical, and more about the bureaucracy of safety, rather than how to actually get thi...
