Abstract
Soren Kierkegaard once wrote about himself, saying "Once I am dead, fear and trembling alone will be enough for an imperishable name as an author" (Kierkegaard's Papirer). Undoubtedly one of his most popular works, it is no surprise he could foresee the endless amount of philosophical discussion that could spawn from his analysis of the binding of Isaac. fear and trembling acts as an adequate summation of Kierkegaard's overall impact as a writer and a thinker because it has so many qualities that are unique to the Danish philosopher, such as the origins of existentialist thought, the cunning use of pseudonyms, and the open disdain for Hegelian philosophy. Yet despite all of these immortal characteristics of this 'dialectical lyric,' perhaps the most important aspect of this work is the fact that it directly attempts to explicate the difference between faith-based ethics and the ethics of reason.
