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 what Kierkegaard means by a "teleological suspension of the ethical". This involves a move into what he calls the "religious" as opposed to the ethical, and is something that the knight of faith, or Abraham does, by virtue of the absurd.
