Fear and Trembling is a book by Søren Kierkegaard written under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio. Through the biblical story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac, Kierkegaard, as a great explorer of human psychology, looks into the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when God commanded him to offer his son as a human sacrifice.
Kierkegaard used the term angst to refer to the dizzying awareness of one’s freedom of choice. It is the anxiety of freedom when considering infinite possibilities and the immense responsibility of being able to choose. This proved to be very influential in Existentialism.
Fear and Trembling contains some of Kierkegaard most important concepts such as the knight of infinite resignation, the knight of faith, the leap of faith, the teleological suspension of the ethical and the stages on life’s way (aesthetic, ethical, religious).

I first read this book nearly 10 years ago. The first sentence alone changed my life: “If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?”

That was really good. I just want to note that understandably, you're trying to condense an incredibly dense book into ten minutes, the final few minutes were continuous and affirmed the impact of a rhythmic cadence than the beginning, which of course I know was meant to just set out the foundations for the rest of the video. I still gained a lot of satisfaction from watching as it helped affirm what I have come to learn from my own reading.

Anxiety comes from from the belief that someone or maybe is before you or some thing is to come after you that you can't control completely. By living in the Now we have no past or future to create any kind of anxiety, grief, or regret. God has no one before or any one after Him. He is The All. Yet, St. Thomas, who'd been "astonished" at this fact, NOW rules over The All Universally. Gospel of St. Thomas, the Twin of God, now in the presence of The Ultimate Messiah.

Through Isaac his seed would be called so if he sacrificed Isaac how could that have been? Isaac would be returned somehow. The lesson is that sacrifice is not required of us but provided by God. Not sure I like his theology but he spoke like a poet and people do understand him.

The context that human sacrifice was accepted in Abraham's society is missing. He could not hide his intent from others because sacrificing your 1st born was acceptable. It could be argued that Abraham's actions were in rebellion to the God of his society and his God was personal in that it did not require human sacrifice of his first fruits.

Abraham did not have "faith", he had knowledge of Gods existence,thus was willing to sacrifice his son because he was guaranteed by this knowledge that either his son would go to heaven on God would resurrect him. Faith would've been attempting to murder his son without knowing if God was real or not, or if his son would just die and cease to exist spiritually and physically.

@jacobborregaard2356 3 жыл бұрын

Abraham DID have faith in that God would let him still have his son, even if he was to sacrifice him. It's not faith in the existence of God, but faith in God's promise of Abraham keeping his son, when it seemed impossible.

He was indeed Christian, but could not bring himself to commit to his strictly absurdist conception of faith. Hence, insofar as he admired Abraham, he found himself unable to grasp what it would take to truly *be like* him, and thereby could in no way understand Abraham or the leap into insanity required to render ethics and reason of secondary importance to that of a private relationship with God, the Absolute.
