La repetición : temor y temblor : escritos 4-1

Søren Kierkegaard's "La repetición : temor y temblor" is a collection of two works published in 1843, written under pseudonyms. The first, "Un ensayo de psicología experimental", explores the concept of repetition through the connection between an individual and their situation. This narrative piece examines the story of a young man's love for a woman, drawing parallels with Kierkegaard's own experiences. The second work, "Temor y temblor", is signed by Johannes de silentio, whose pseudonym reveals the key to the text: the silence of Abraham. The book delves into the figure of Abraham and discusses the problems arising from varying interpretations of his experience on Mount Moriah, ultimately establishing a lyrical dialectic between secrecy and manifestation. In this work, Kierkegaard grapples with the relationship between the individual and the absolute, as embodied by the tragic hero Abraham. The silence that defines Abraham's character is both his source of anguish and paradox, inexpressible within ethical or aesthetic frameworks.
