Abraham And Anxiety - Søren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith. In this lecture, we discuss why without "anxiety, distress, and paradox", the figure and meaning of Abraham in the story about faith cannot be adequately grasped. We also discuss two other examples where such anxiety is relevant.
