On Kierkegaard's Fear & Trembling



Just talking about one of my favorite books of all time as I discuss:

  • Faith as the suspension of the ethical

  • Kierkegaard's beautiful reading of the story of Abraham and Isaac
I cannot recommend this book any more ardently — it's so funny and smart and profound. Oh yes.
