Even though it was exceptionally difficult to understand i still enjoyed it. To find meaning in the absurd, to base faith on the absurd, to go beyond reason - that is rather clever! I have lots of questions to Soren but i don't think it's important to answer them. Learning to think like him is value enough. I had a feeling reading this like the one I had reading Simone Weil’s Gravity and Grace. A lot of words are thrown around in this book like faith, hero, aesthetics, ethics; words that we may feel like we understand but besides having their own subjective definition for different people, have undergone seismic redefinition throughout history. Kierkegaard uses these words in a way that surely had real resonance for himself and all the readers who have found something worthwhile in his thought. I, however, don’t think I am as sensitive to the emotional echo these words and the concepts built around them, and I actually wonder how anyone reading this book in the 21st century and beyond could feel the feelings that Kierkegaard is describing so intensely. I’m reminded of going to a museum and seeing a tool taken from an ancient civilization. Maybe I can make out what seems to be a handle, or a cutting edge, or a design reminiscent of a person or an animal. It’s clear that it was made by a human being, and something about imagining it in my hands feels intuitive, like a dim memory thru a fog of amnesia. But in reality, I am totally ignorant of the way the tool is used - and in fact, I have absolutely no use for it. A lot of these feelings are certainly due to my ignorance - I intend to read a little more about Kierkegaard and his thought to try and understand him better. But I also feel like the issues that this book is concerned with are a kind of missing link, a primordial step towards a wrangling with the modern condition that for me, I’ve found more relatable versions of in later authors. I cannot say I understand Abraham. And unlike Johannes I cannot admire him. I believe Abraham, the father of faith, is truly done for. An absolutely wonderful work. It came as a surprise that a book dealing with such a seemingly archaic subject matter gives such prescient commentary on spiritual life today. I can add nothing more. The book demands a re-read as soon as I put it down, but I can no longer bear to attempt to grapple with these paradoxes, the poles between them pull me too taut. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"This newly translated Fear and Trembling, a founding document of modern philosophy and existentialism, could not be more apt for these perilous times. First published in 1843 under the pseudonym "Johannes de silentio" (John of Silence), Søren Kierkegaard's richly resonant Fear and Trembling has for generations stood as a pivotal text in the history of moral philosophy, inspiring such artistic and philosophical luminaries as Edvard Munch, W. H. Auden, Walter Benjamin, and existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. Retelling the biblical story of the binding of Isaac, Kierkegaard expounds on the ordeal of Abraham, who was commanded to sacrifice his son in an exceptional test of faith. Disgusted at the self-certainty of his own age, Kierkegaard investigates the paradox underlying Abraham's decision to allow his duty to God to take precedence over his duties to his family. Now, in a new era of immense uncertainty and dislocation, renowned Kierkegaard scholar Bruce H. Kirmmse, in his accessible translation and engaging introduction, eloquently brings this classic work to a new generation of readers, demonstrating Kierkegaard's enduring power to illuminate the terrible wonder of faith"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
