Teleological Suspension Of The Ethical - 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 what Kierkegaard means by a "teleological suspension of the ethical". This involves a move into what he calls the "religious" as opposed to the ethical, and is something that the knight of faith, or Abraham does, by virtue of the absurd.
