In this rich and resonant work, Soren Kierkegaard reflects poetically and philosophically on the biblical story of God's command to Abraham, that he sacrifice his son Isaac as a test of faith. Was Abraham's proposed action morally and religiously justified or murder? Is there an absolute duty to God? Was Abraham justified in remaining silent? In pondering these questions, Kierkegaard presents faith as a paradox that cannot be understood by reason and conventional morality, and he challenges the universalist ethics and immanental philosophy of modern German idealism, especially as represented by Kant and Hegel. This volume presents the first new English translation for twenty years, by Sylvia Walsh, together with an introduction by C. Stephen Evans which examines the ethical and religious issues raised by the text.

He makes the movement of infinite resignation, and gets his son back by virtue of the absurd. He as the particular oversteps the universal, but then returns to the finitude.

The Unspeakable Time of Fear and Trembling Thank God. I’m glad that I took a second read of this book. Reading Fear and Trembling is more than an intellectual activity. Kierkegaard requires the readers to empathise with him as he did with Abraham to embody...

Faith and belief, in terms of teleological suspension, is a higher level of mental process than ethics and moral.

重读。Je crois parce que cela est absurde. Je crois parce que cela est impossible.
