Book Description

25 Aug 2005 Penguin Great Ideas

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

The Father of Existentialism, Kierkegaard transformed philosophy with his conviction that we must all create our own nature; in this great work of religious anxiety, he argues that a true understanding of God can only be attained by making a personal 'leap of faith'.

Product Description

About the Author

Soren Kierkegaard's childhood was clouded by the religious fervour of his father. Studying both theology and the liberal arts, he began to criticize the Christianity upheld by his father and look for a new set of values. He wrote no fewer than twelve major philosophical essays and his work inspires both modern Protestant theology and existentialism. In his own time, he died an object of public ridicule and scorn.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
There was once a man; he had learned as a child that beautiful tale of how God tried Abraham, how he withstood the test, kept his faith and for the second time received a son against every expectation. Read the first page

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, but buy the full version 24 April 2006
Format:Paperback
Search for "Fear and Trembling (Classics S.)". It's the same translation (by Alistair Hannay) but actually has notes + an introduction (although the introduction is a little long and over interpretive).

The Great Ideas version will probably look better on your shelf and is more portable, but it's worth spending the extra pound or so on the full version. This is especially true if you aren't familiar with Kierkegaard.

It's probably also worth mentioning that the Cambridge Companion to Kierkegaard has a nice (intoductory) essay on F&T

4.0 out of 5 stars Do you find Abraham Guilty or Not Guilty? 13 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
Kierkegaard tries to defend Abraham against the charge that he was contemplating murdering his son because he thought God told him to. Will have you either going to church every Sunday (be it because you think you now have an excuse to kill your kids or be it because you now believe God's had cardiac surgery and is no longer dead) or throwing it across the room screaming and swearing at Kiekegaard for being WRONG WRONG WRONG I TELL YOU!!! Oh, and check out The World as Will and Representation (both volumes) by Schopenhauer if you have either teenage intellectuals who like to dress in black and claim you don't understand them ,or if you just want things to quote when you're feeling down and unappreciated and really want to scare people who haven't read it.
