Produktbeschreibung

Søren Kierkegaard is one of the key figures of nineteenth century thought, whose influence on subsequent philosophy, theology and literature is both extensive and profound. Fear and Trembling is one of Kierkegaard's most compelling and widely read works. It combines an arresting narrative, an unorthodox literary structure and a fascinating account of faith and its relation to 'the ethical'.

This Guidebook introduces and assesses Kierkegaard's life and the background to Fear and Trembling, including aspects of its philosophical and theological context. It will be essential reading for anyone studying the most famous text of this important thinker.
