In what is probably his most well-known       book, Denmark’s most famous philosopher muses, through his pseudonym       Johannes de Silentio, about the Akedah story, the story within       the book of Genesis which recounts Abraham’s binding of his son Isaac as       a sacrifice to God. This collection brings together seven essays that       read Fear and Trembling  as a classic, that is: as a work that       can speak meaningfully to people in different places and at different       times, and that can be read fruitfully from within a diversity of       theoretical frameworks and approaches.  Fear and Trembling is       linked here, not only with other important philosophers, such as Adorno,       Heidegger and Westphal, but it is also related to the so-called       “non-metaphysical” approach to Hegel and to the debate on the “ethics of       belief”. Questions are raised about Fear and Trembling and       religious diversity, historical criticism, and authorial intent, and the       work is approached from within poetry (Erik Johan Stagnelius) and drama       (Paul Claudel), but also from within one contributor’s personal       experiences with theological education. In this way, the seven       contributions brought together in the present book offer something of a       panoramic view on Fear and Trembling, a view that may inspire to       either turn or return to Kierkegaard’s most famous book, and let       oneself, for the first time or once more, be challenged, disturbed, and       maybe even repelled by this text that reflects on a father that is, or       at least seems, willing to sacrifice his only son because God ordered       him to do so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55168805568886,"sku":"9789042934306","price":78.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26446735.jpg?v=1737383623","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042934306-facing-abraham-seven-readings-of-soren-kierkegaards-fear-and-trembling","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
