Description
Fear and Trembling is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard that explores the nature of faith and obedience. Written under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio, the book examines the biblical story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac at God's command.
Kierkegaard's philosophy is rooted in his personal experiences and convictions, which he expresses through a discussion of the scene in Genesis. He argues that Abraham's unreserved obedience to God's command is the essential leap of faith needed to make a full commitment to one's religion.
This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by Alistair Hannay, which provides context for Kierkegaard's philosophy and its significance in the development of existentialist thought. The book also includes detailed notes to complement the introduction, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in philosophy and theology.
