Søren Kierkegaard : Audiobook Fear and Trembling 1843

Audiobook presentation of Søren Kierkegaard's philosophical work, "Fear and Trembling" (Frygt og Bæven), originally published in 1843. The text is presented under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio. This significant philosophical literature examines the biblical narrative involving Abraham and Isaac to explore complex themes related to epistemology, ethics, and the nature of religious faith from an existential perspective. The work focuses on what Kierkegaard termed the 'Dialectical Lyric' of faith, analyzing how profound belief can exist outside conventional ethical frameworks, requiring a leap or paradox for the individual.

This nearly hour-and-a-half duration recording allows listeners to engage directly with this foundational text in existentialist philosophy, which critically assesses the relationship between the individual's absolute devotion and universal moral duties.
