Book Description
Kierkegaard, described by Wittgenstein as "by far the most profound thinker of the [nineteenth] century," has influenced a wide range of philosophers and theologians. Fear and Trembling, which investigates the nature of faith and its relation to ethics via a discussion of the story of Abraham and Isaac, is one of Kierkegaard's most compelling and popular works. Kierkegaard and Fear and Trembling introduces and assesses:
"John Lippitt manages to capture the brightness and excitement of Kierkegaard's remarkable work while explicating its themes with depth and insight. On every page one find eye-opening clues and interpretations. This little book is a treasure." -- Charles Guignon, University of South Florida
"This is an excellent and much-needed commentary on what is possibly Kierkegaard's most widely-read work. It is an engaging and accessible introduction to a highly complex text, and steers an expert course between the crudity of certain 'literal' readings and the excesses of some postmodern accounts." -- Anthony Rudd, St Olaf College
"This is an excellent piece of work ... I can think of no other text that provides what it provides – a clearly-written and thorough introduction to this fascinating but difficult text, which brings out the full range of its implications for moral philosophy and the philosophy of religion." -- Stephen Mulhall, Oxford University
