Kurzbeschreibung
As one of Soren Kierkegaard's most widely read works, FEAR and TREMBLING presents careful arguments about important biblical topics. Most notably, Kierkegaard acts more-or-less as a defense attorney for Abraham for his even contemplating the murder of his son. In the book, Kierkegaard considers whether Abraham was not subject to the ethical laws of the everyday universe that the rest of us live by every day--when he was acting under the direction of God (e.g. when God asked him to kill his own son). For a complete explanation and polemics of Kierkegaard's views, this book is highly recommended. That the subject matter of FEAR and TREMBLING greatly disturbed Kierkegaard becomes readily obvious in the first pages. If the arguments presented are examined carefully, it is a topic whose implications may very well shock the modern-day theologian as well.
Über den Autor
Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a prolific 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian. Kierkegaard strongly criticized both the Hegelianism of his time and what he saw as the empty formalities of the Church of Denmark. Much of his work deals with religious themes such as faith in God, the institution of the Christian Church, Christian ethics and theology, and the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices. His early work was written under various pseudonyms who present their own distinctive viewpoints in a complex dialogue. Kierkegaard left the task of discovering the meaning of his works to the reader, because "the task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted". Scholars have interpreted Kierkegaard variously as an existentialist, neo-orthodoxist, postmodernist, humanist, and individualist. Crossing the boundaries of philosophy, theology, psychology, and literature, he is an influential figure in contemporary thought.

Format:Taschenbuch
In Fear and Trembling you find the most strenght themes about faith and paradox. It is very human and very divine at the same time. You find the human contraddictions and the openings to the mistery of the faith. The faith knight is a very impressive figure. In this book you have the most paradoxal and fascinating description of Abramo and Isacco story.
Format:Taschenbuch
Through the story of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, Soren Kierkegaard (SK) unfolded the mistery of faith. SK searches to answer three problem, those are Is there such a thing as a teleological suspension of the ethical?, Is there such a thing as an absolute duty toward God? , and Was Abraham ethically justifiable in keeping silent about his purpose before Sarah, before Eleazar, before Isaac?. The ethical as such is the universal, and as the universal it applies to everyone, which may be expressed from another point of view by saying that it applies every instant (Kierkegaard). The task of the individual is to live up to the universal (ethical). Sin is when the individual places the individual above the universal. Yet, faith reforms whole schema, Faith is precisely this paradox, that the individual as the particular is higher than the universal, is justified over against it, is not subordinate but superior, yet in such a way, be it observed, that it is the particular individual who, after he has been subordinated as the particular to the universal, now through the universal becomes the individual who as the particular is superior to the universal, for the fact that the particular individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute. On the second problem, SK answered it that our duty to God supersedes our duty to the ethical, as God is the basis for the ethical. Abraham's ethical duty is to love his son Isaac, but this is made relative in comparison to his relationship with God. On the third problem, SK mentioned that Abraham had no other choice. No one would have been able to understand what he was going through. Finally, SK tells us, Faith is the highest passion in a man. Such passion cannot be aroused by a dedication to an immutable ethical mandate, but only by a relationship to the personal God.
`He who loved himself became great in himself, and he who loved others became great through his devotion, but he who loved God became greater than all' (Kierkegaard)

Kierkegaard first takes issue with the prevailing (i.e., Hegelian) notion that faith is something to be "transcended" by means of systematic philosophy, and almost baits the reader to consider what it means to go "beyond" faith anyway. Next, he postulates 4 thought experiments that (poetically) reconstruct the Abraham and Isaac ordeal, each of which is intended to show how the story might be harmonized with the prevailing Hegelian mode of understanding the "univeral" in ethical terms. Finally, the section on "Problemata" argues against three (at the time well-known) postulates of Hegelian ethical thought by showing that these are all inconsistent with some remarkable feature of the faith that Abraham evidences.
The section on the Knight of Infinite Resignation and the Knight of Faith provide, albeit obliquely, support for the view that the movement of faith is absolute, and cannot be transcended.
Hannay's introduction is excellent (however, I would suggest first skimming it, then reading Kierkegaard's book, then reading it in earnest at the end).
