Inhaltsangabe:

Kierkegaard is widely regarded as the 'father of existentialism', although his influence can be observed across the spectrum of twentieth century continental philosophy and philosophy of religion. Fear and Trembling is his most compelling and popular work and is heralded as a benchmark in twentieth century philosophy.

The Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Kierkegaard and Fear and Trembling examines the major themes that arise in this classic work of religious and existential philosophy. It also explores the broader aspects of Kierkegaard's influence on philosophy as a whole. The book assumes no previous knowledge of Kierkegaard's work and will be essential reading for any student studying the ideas of this important thinker.
Kierkegaard and Fear and Trembling introduces and assesses:
Kierkegaard's life and the background to Fear and Trembling
The ideas and text of Fear and Trembling, his most famous work
Kierkegaard's continuing importance in philosophy.
