Kierkegaards Fear and Trembling

More about the book

Exploring the tension between individual faith and societal norms, this work presents a critique of Hegel's communitarian philosophy. Through the biblical narrative of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, Kierkegaard delves into the complexities of personal belief and the nature of faith. Written under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, it reflects his disdain for the Danish Church and his emphasis on the individual's relationship with God. This early work lays the groundwork for Kierkegaard's existential thought, challenging readers to consider the nature of true faith.
