In \u003ci\u003eFear and Trembling\u003c\/i\u003e he explores the psychology of religion, addressing the question 'What is Faith?' in terms of the emotional and psychological relationship between the individual and God. But this difficult question is addressed in the most vivid terms, as Kierkegaard explores different ways of interpreting the ancient story of Abraham and Isaac to make his point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSøren Kierkegaard not only ­trans­formed Protestant theology but also anticipated twentieth-century existentialism and provided it with many of its motifs. \u003ci\u003eFear and Trembling\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Book on Adler\u003c\/i\u003e–addressed to a general audience–have the imaginative excitement and intense personal appeal of the greatest literature. Only Plato and Nietzsche have matched Kierkegaard’s ability to give ideas so compellingly vivid and dramatic a shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated by Walter Lowrie“\u003ci\u003eFear and Trembling\u003c\/i\u003e is among the best-known and influential works in nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophic theology and literature . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Book on Adler\u003c\/i\u003e [is] one of the dark jewels in the history of philosophic psychology. As an examiner of the lives of the mind, of the associative pulses of the imagination, Kierkegaard has only two peers. His inquisition into Adler stands beside those descents into the deeps of the human psyche performed by Dostoevsky and by Nietzsche.” –from the Introduction by George SteinerDanish-born S¢ren Kierkegaard (1813-55) wrote on a wide variety of themes, including religion, psychology, and literature. He is remembered for his philosophy, which was influential in the development of 20th century existentialism. Alastair Hannay is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oslo.
