- Fear and Trembling is a book by Søren Kierkegaard written under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio. Through the biblical story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac, Kierkegaard, as a great explorer of human psychology, looks into the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when God commanded him to offer his son as a human sacrifice.
Kierkegaard used the term angst to refer to the dizzying awareness of one’s freedom of choice. It is the anxiety of freedom when considering infinite possibilities and the immense responsibility of being able to choose. This proved to be very influential in Existentialism.
Fear and Trembling contains some of Kierkegaard most important concepts such as the knight of infinite resignation, the knight of faith, the leap of faith, the teleological suspension of the ethical and the stages on life’s way (aesthetic, ethical, religious).

This is the best video on TH-cam 🙏🏿
I first read this book nearly 10 years ago. The first sentence alone changed my life:
“If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?”
That's an amazing quote!
I’m going through this right now!
what does that mean?
@@sournuts8517 it means that if man does not have some spark of divinity, if what we call the soul is nothing but a random amalgam of finite parts with no transcendent purpose, then life would amount to nothing but nihilistic, meaningless misery.
In a way , that is indeed the case
But absurd still is our Faith which steadfast against this, for truly it is unfathomable our depths are, by it is loved by God
The concept of love being equal to fear. That hit hard. To love is to be vunerable, scared to lose what you value most.
Dude, this is an excellent job from the book. Now I am reading it and I was trying to finde something in order to get a better understanding of the book. You have nailed it, thank you very much!
Glad you found it useful!!
I have watched so many videos explaining this book, and you're the first person that made it clear enough for me to understand
This channel deserves way more likes. Keep up the great videos.
Excellent summation. Thanks for doing doing that for us.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
What an incredible summary. I spent years understanding this work and couldn't put it as simply as you did. Great job!
Simple is beautiful because simplicity is das ultimate form of sophistication
Underrated channel. Very helpful, thank you. : )
I rate eternalized high
Great summary. I found the last concepts of the problemata very hard to get my head around but this really clarified the idea of the heroes and knight of faith, thank you!
I am very satisfied with what I am studying especially so of Sòren Kierkegaard.
Me too
Congrats on reaching 10k subscribers buddy, you definitely earned it at this rate you will have 50k at least by the end of the year. Great narration and summary of this interesting book.
Thanks a lot for your support friend!
Thanks so much for the video
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
To have a self,
To be a self
Is das greatest concession made to mankind;
And at the same time,
It is eternalised demand upon him.
Every call from god
Is always addressed to 1 single person,
De individual.
Therefore,
De 1 who is called
Must stand alone,
Walk alone,
Sit alone,
Sleep alone,
Alone with god.
God is in us-
Das author of our dream.
Our job is to dream big;
And not worry about what other people think, say or do or how miracles happen.
That's beautiful!
@@Eternalised what good is beautiful;
Simple is beautiful because simplicity is das ultimate form of sophistication:
De creation of beauty is art-
It is called congfu
Nice work, thanks!

Thanks! Glad it helped!

Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kierkegaard Saturday! Great vid and congrats on 10k. I'll never know how to pronounce Soren correctly.
Thanks friend! I gotta watch yours as well
I had the privilege to tour the Kierkegaard museum in Copenhagen and the curator chastised my pronunciation of Kierkegaard. CARE-ge'-go -hard gs - is a more proper pronunciation, please excuse my attempt at pronunciation shorthand. His name means cemetery in Danish. I promised the curator I would try to correct the American pronunciation with as many people as I could.
cemetery? really? that's awesome!¡
@@nickismith4787 thanks for the info. I understood it can also mean "Churchyard" kirke/church , gård/yard. It is most commonly used for a graveyard/ cemetery , but the root is churchyard .
@@vaheabrahamian137 Thanks! I needed to know that.
awesome awesome
Thanks to the Knight ;)
Nice video man. TH-cam please recommend more Frederick Nietzsche and Kierkegaard videos. Maybe some post modern thinkers.
Knight of Faith.
thank you
Gratitude is das father of all virtues:
Wisdom
Courage

You're welcome! :)
Can you do a 10 min video explaining Foma Gordeyev written by Maxim Gorky?
I'm not sure who they are. But i'll check them out!
Can you do your thing for Sidd har tha by Herman Hesse, eternalized?
Una película que expresa todo el contenido de este libro podría ser "Silence" de Martin Scorsese con Andrew Garfield como protagonista, representando a un Abraham moderno en el Japón feudal, what do you think?
No he visto esa película, pero suena interesante por lo que he leído
That was really good. I just want to note that understandably, you're trying to condense an incredibly dense book into ten minutes, the final few minutes were continuous and affirmed the impact of a rhythmic cadence than the beginning, which of course I know was meant to just set out the foundations for the rest of the video. I still gained a lot of satisfaction from watching as it helped affirm what I have come to learn from my own reading.
Thank you! Yeah, I always put a disclaimer in the beginning since I left a ton of material out - my intention is to make people read the book for themselves :)
@@Eternalised You presented and organized everything well. I'm just referring the cadence so that the concepts are easily digestible. The cadence was more rhythmic at the end which helped digest the material easier. It's very hard to present complex ideas but you did well and I just wanted to point out that you picked up on that rhythm at the end. Again, I'm sincerely grateful for your work and it's been inspirational to watch it.
@@AfshinHaghgoo Appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Why do we shake ? It's cold out there. He translated some ancient Bible they found, they just leave it on in Denmark. And he schizophrenic.
Most people are happy with the 1st stage; some thinkers stop at the 2nd stage; but how many consciously make the decision to take that leap of faith?
Probably not many, because that requires one to be insane.

Anxiety comes from from the belief that someone or maybe is before you or some thing is to come after you that you can't control completely. By living in the Now we have no past or future to create any kind of anxiety, grief, or regret. God has no one before or any one after Him. He is The All. Yet, St. Thomas, who'd been "astonished" at this fact, NOW rules over The All Universally. Gospel of St. Thomas, the Twin of God, now in the presence of The Ultimate Messiah.
One can reduce this to one two word phrase: immortality ideology; and one three word phrase - denial of death
Voila Tout
Through Isaac his seed would be called so if he sacrificed Isaac how could that have been? Isaac would be returned somehow. The lesson is that sacrifice is not required of us but provided by God. Not sure I like his theology but he spoke like a poet and people do understand him.
Wow! You actually take that %&& serious don't you? 😊😂😅😅😅
@@aarone9000 when the communist quoted he who does not work shall not eat they took it seriously too. They quote out of context to control others. Making salvation about works allows you to control others if you manipulate the words. Supreme Court judges have done the same with bill of rights. The meanings of things matter but your all so proud and kinda dumb.
The context that human sacrifice was accepted in Abraham's society is missing. He could not hide his intent from others because sacrificing your 1st born was acceptable. It could be argued that Abraham's actions were in rebellion to the God of his society and his God was personal in that it did not require human sacrifice of his first fruits.
Hi, do you have a transcript for this video? Thank you!
Absolutely. Here you go:

@@Eternalised Thanks so much, and thanks for the prompt response, and great video!
When you brought up Kant & Hegel at 7:51 you put up a picture of Friedrich Jacobi & Hegel... that's not Immanuel Kant.
Kierkegaard must have been the life of the/a party; 😅
Abraham did not have "faith", he had knowledge of Gods existence,thus was willing to sacrifice his son because he was guaranteed by this knowledge that either his son would go to heaven on God would resurrect him. Faith would've been attempting to murder his son without knowing if God was real or not, or if his son would just die and cease to exist spiritually and physically.
Abraham DID have faith in that God would let him still have his son, even if he was to sacrifice him. It's not faith in the existence of God, but faith in God's promise of Abraham keeping his son, when it seemed impossible.
@@jacobborregaard2356 Faith is believing in something without knowing. Abraham could directly communicate with God thus had tangible evidence of his existence and power.
@@vforvendetta60 Faith also means trust, like how Abraham had faith in God’s promise, it’s not the same as belief. You are right that he didn’t need faith in Go’s existence, but he still had faith in his promise.
@@vforvendetta60 at some point he had to convince himself he wasnt hallucinating and deluding himself... He had to believe it was God saying this and not himself or some demon
@@BigBoi9111 so what happened? Did isaac live?
Kierkeggard was not religous but wrote this about God? Or is this supposed to be read satiricaly?
Kierkegaard was very much religious. A devout Christian. He was just highly critical of the established church and the general mass of Christians.
He was indeed Christian, but could not bring himself to commit to his strictly absurdist conception of faith. Hence, insofar as he admired Abraham, he found himself unable to grasp what it would take to truly *be like* him, and thereby could in no way understand Abraham or the leap into insanity required to render ethics and reason of secondary importance to that of a private relationship with God, the Absolute.
This is an objectivist's nightmare.
Please I would like to correct something over here,you said Abraham wanted to sacrifice his son Isaac but that's not true. It's not Isaac it's Ismael.
Replace the word "God" with Mother Earth. God is Mother Earth ! its THAT simple!
No
The Mother is submissive and needs the Sky Father
Unify them and you'll truly have Power
God is One, He holds these things together and all Souls aspire to Him, The Gods spiral with what He has decreed
He is Masculine in His Activeness with the Soul which is Feminine in their tuning in and receptivity of Him
Lol no, paganistic bullshit
No, don't attempt to expediently apply your own ideological terms as replacements for elements that are not the same.
