This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Soren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith. In this lecture, we discuss the central figure of the text, Abraham, and why Kierkegaard views him as an exemplar of faith. We also discuss some important differences between the much more demanding comportment Kierkegaard means by "faith" and the other things many people mean by that term

This is so good. I am currently trying to write my term paper on Kierkegaard's faith for my 19th century phi class and your lecture is better in explaining the text and philosophy than anything I've had all semester from my class. We spend 1 hour in class 3 days a week and I've learned more on Kierkegaard in this video than I learned in 3 weeks of lecture.
Sorry to read your class isn't good, but glad that the videos are helpful
I’m so glad you make these videos.
Thanks!
Thank you! You explain things very clearly. Love it!
You’re welcome!
Thank You so much, I’ve been struggling with Kierkegaard
You're welcome!
Thanks 🙏 Amazing explanation!
Glad you found it helpful
Thank you so much for this, as a Muslim this was very nice to hear. Muslims sacrifice an animal to pay honor to our Prophet Abraham
Great prophet a total puppet worshipping out of fear
God doesn't ask us to sacrifice an animal because the biggest and greatest sacrifice has been made by Jesus, but Muslims just want to eat meat.
@@nesrinedhaoui7169 lmao true although Jesus is fake as any other religion lol
I'm not gonna get through this but I'm an ex atheist and ex muslim
I had my journey to Christianity which is clearly a question of faith not a religion you can't change my mind dear 😊
@@nesrinedhaoui7169 good. Ignorance is really bliss.
You've provided more details of Kierkegaard's view of Gen 22 than I've encountered before. I can see now both the ultimate hero point and the stoicism needed. From there emerges a 5th view pertaining to the sanctity of human life that is forever under siege.
Those four interpretations are all Kierkegaard - from the first part of the work
This was awesome. I honestly wonder what kierkegaard would've said of the Quranic account of the sacrifice story. In that account, abraham tells Ishmael that he will sacrifice him and Ishmael has faith in his father and God and let's him do it. Ishmael embodies the heroic sacrifice.
Hello Mr. Sadler, I'm new to philosophy and I don't know which videos I should watch from you. I'm interested in knowing more about spirituality and the meaning of life.
Matt Walker he personally follows the philosophy of Saint Anselm, which he has a bunch of videos on. He also has a list of his favorite philosophy books, I’d check out the recommendations and philosophers from that video.
that there is none
It is on this one predicated centrally grounded notion of "Kierkegaard's Sefl-proclaimed irrational faith" brought about from a creative misreading by Kierkegaard on the role and idea of faith in the GOD-Abraham-Isaac story that I make a radically, complete and justified break away from The existentialist and Kiekeegaard's philosophy in general. In fact, it was this same perceived creative misreading that eventually pointed me to Hegel. Kierkegaard doesn't understand that story, especially from an "exegetical" context in relation to the whole central doctrine of the bible.
To give a better idea of what I mean, there are three subjects (permit me to address them as such) and three motivations in each subject. The subjects are GOD, Abraham, and Isaac. Kierkegaard, unfortunately, elevates the one who really is just an accentuation for the other two in this story. Yes, while Abraham is regarded as the father of faith in this story, and because of this story, its more about GOD and Isaac just as much as it is about Abraham. The personhood of GOD really shines in this story in a way Kierkegaard unfortunately misses and thus wrongly predicates his whole philosophy upon (which of course eventually landed to his creative misreading of Hegel, although through inspirations from Shelling and the general corpus of romantics opposition to Hegel). Its almost like Isaac is a background character to emphasize Abraham's faith when its even Isaac that possessed and eschewed a greater faith in this situation. Abraham had already established himself as having faith in GOD prior to his very decision to travel to the land GOD instructed him. By virtue of his inferred relationship with GOD as a friend, rigorous reason already predicated any act of faith Abraham exhibited or even exercised and GOD did ordain this (Check Genesis account of how GOD entrusted Adam to use his GOD given-gift of reason to describe, name, relate, and oversee all other living creatures on earth, which is why the devil attacked the faculty of reason in man, not the faculty of faith and belief). An example of said prior exercise in reason was Abraham's petition for GOD to spare the lives of the sodomites. If one infers further, this was more of even a test by GOD to see how much faculty of reason Abraham could exercise and how much more faith in GOD that would result in. Of course, Abraham barely misses the mark since he stops short of requesting GOD fully spare the lives of all the sodomites of which it can be inferred GOD was most definitely willing to grant. Also, remember Abraham already failed a prior test of faith by lying that Sarah was his sister rather than his wife. He even failed another test of faith by choosing to bear a child which Hagar based on the disbelief of Sarah his wife which he let seed into his own faculties, and of course, we now see how devastating this significant act of disbelief (The bible refers to this as disobedience, which is the opposite of faith) was for the whole world till today.
Thus, it posits Isaac in this story compared to any other involving both Abraham and Isaac together and separates had an even greater faith to believe in the comfort of his earthly father as a result of the trust in GOD. ISAAC in this case is through and through JESUS, in the sense of completely submitting his will to his father without question or resistance, based on a faith that transcends understanding. This faith is in its purest forms, found in the relationship and connection between two subjects rooted in the love of GOD. GOD used this exact instance to show how He and His son Jesus are both one in the same and distinct in the same vein. In as much as Abraham and Isaac had the resolve to submit to the comfort and will of the holy spirit as the comforter and mediator between them as father and son, and mediator with their relationship to GOD as the heavenly father, they showed the unity in difference, independence, and interdependence of a triune fellowship. THIS IS THE MESSAGE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, and IMO its most expressed and thoroughly elaborated on in the Logic has rigorously developed through Hegel. Its a shame Kierkegaard missed this point.
Another great Video Dr. Sadler

@@GregoryBSadler Hahaha thanks for that and sorry about the long comment. However, This wasn't me so much wanting a reply or an engagement as it was me just thinking out loud and leaving a e
Relic of my thought in a stamp of time. I probably do need a blog in that sense.
Anyway if you would know, The punch line was that Kierkegaard's inciting of Abraham as the central corpus to his Philosophy around faith is inadequate on basis of exposition.
Thanks!
Hi Gregory, is there any way I can contact you, an email address? I wanted to ask a few questions and share some ideas. I am only an undergraduate student in the UK but I wanted to get your perspective on life and meaning, if you would be willing. ✨
Here's my website. reasonio.wordpress.com/
At present, my schedule is very packed, and I'm not even meeting with new clients until mid-October.
thx for clearing this one up
You're welcome!
