Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard

5.0

I read this book a long time ago and didn't really understand much of it. That is definitely not the case this time around. After going through the book again, Kierkegaard's position as the father of existentialism is now made clear to me - the absurd is completely built into his philosophy. Fear & Trembling is astounding: Kierkegaard is lucid, articulate and sophisticated. If anyone is looking for a book that will reveal the importance of faith and the absurd, look no further than this.
