A cornerstone of existential philosophy and Christian thought, Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard explores the nature of faith, ethics, and sacrifice through the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac. Writing under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, Kierkegaard challenges conventional moral philosophy with his concept of the "teleological suspension of the ethical," arguing that true faith requires a leap beyond reason. This thought-provoking text is essential reading for Kolbe Academy’s Honors Philosophy course. This edition includes a full introduction and notes to guide students through one of the most influential works in religious philosophy and existentialism.
