FAQ About Søren Kierkegaard
What is the main idea of Kierkegaard's 'Fear and Trembling'?
"Fear and Trembling" examines the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac to explore the concept of faith as a paradoxical and deeply personal commitment that goes beyond the ethical and rational. Kierkegaard argues that true faith involves a "teleological suspension of the ethical," where an individual's relationship with God transcends conventional moral reasoning, making Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son an exemplar of faith.
