Ep. 333: Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" on Faith (Part One)

The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast

To wrap up our coverage of Kierkegaard, we consider his religious stage of development through this 1843 text analyzing the Biblical story of Abraham. Can we understand, much less admire, an attitude whereby you think God has commanded you to kill your son and you gladly go along with it? How does this sort of "greatness" relate to ethics?
