Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death by Walter Lowrie, Søren Kierkegaard

3.0

I read just Fear and Trembling. Not a fan of Kierkegaard's style. It felt more like he would rather have been a poet than a philosopher. The work was full of mythic, poetic, and biblical examples (beyond just the main one, Abraham and Isaac) that didn't add that much to the work. Could probably have been half as long and made more sense. I'm looking into secondary literature to make more sense of Fear and Trembling.

I'm also not convinced that Abraham wasn't just a murderer.
