Fear and Trembling is a fundamental work by the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, published in 1843. In this essay, Kierkegaard explores the nature of faith and the paradox of existence through the biblical figure of Abraham and his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac. The author analyzes anguish, ethics, and the individual's relationship with the divine, raising profound questions about morality and transcendence. This edition by Alianza Editorial presents a careful translation and an introductory study that facilitates the understanding of this key work of existentialism.
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard was a Danish Lutheran theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christianity, morality, ethics, psychology, love, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony, and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", highlighting the importance of authenticity, personal choice and commitment, and the duty to love. Kierkegaard prioritized concrete human reality over abstract thinking.
