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 how Kierkegaard views how philosophy ought to orient itself towards what he calls "faith". Philosophy remaining true to its own mission will find faith to be paradoxical.
