Abraham And The Tragic Hero - 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 the fundamental difference Kierkegaard outlines between the tragic hero - who moves in the domain of the ethical - and Abraham - the knight of faith, who moves into the domain of the religious, above or beyond the ethical.
