Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard

Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard takes the story of Abraham being commanded to sacrifice Isaac and refuses to let it be comfortable. He retells the three days' journey four different ways, each one showing a version of Abraham the reader could understand — and then says none of them is the real one.

The problem is that Abraham cannot explain himself to anyone. Ethics says murder is wrong; his obedience is either faith or madness, and there is no argument that decides which. From that Kierkegaard builds the knight of faith, the teleological suspension of the ethical, and the loneliness at the centre of belief.

The foundational text of religious existentialism, and one of the most gripping works of philosophy ever written.
