Synopsis "fear and trembling and the sickness unto death (new in paperback)"

Walter Lowrie's classic, bestselling translation of S ren Kierkegaard's most important and popular books remains unmatched for its readability and literary quality. Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death established Kierkegaard as the father of existentialism and have come to define his contribution to philosophy. Lowrie's translation, first published in 1941 and later revised, was the first in English, and it has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to Kierkegaard's thought. Kierkegaard counted Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death among "the most perfect books I have written," and in them he introduces two terms--"the absurd" and "despair"--that have become key terms in modern thought. Fear and Trembling takes up the story of Abraham and Isaac to explore a faith that transcends the ethical, persists in the face of the absurd, and meets its reward in the return of all that the faithful one is willing to sacrifice, while The Sickness Unto Death examines the spiritual anxiety of despair. Walter Lowrie's magnificent translation of these seminal works continues to provide an ideal introduction to Kierkegaard. And, as Gordon Marino argues in a new introduction, these books are as relevant as ever in today's age of anxiety.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (Copenhague, 1813-1855) fue un filósofo, teólogo y escritor danés considerado el padre del existencialismo. Su obra se centra en la angustia, la libertad, la fe y la paradoja de la existencia humana, explorando siempre la relación entre el individuo y Dios. En Temor y temblor, uno de sus textos más influyentes, reflexiona sobre la figura bíblica de Abraham y el sacrificio de Isaac, planteando la tensión entre la ética universal y el deber religioso individual, una paradoja que muestra los límites de la razón frente a la fe.

Kierkegaard escribió bajo múltiples seudónimos, lo que le permitió desplegar diferentes estilos y perspectivas en sus libros. Sus reflexiones fueron poco comprendidas en su tiempo, pero hoy son referencia indispensable en la filosofía moderna, la teología y la literatura. Sus ideas han influido en autores como Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger y Simone de Beauvoir, consolidando su papel como pionero de la filosofía existencial.
