Kick off this season on Existentialism with the "Father of Existentialism" Soren Kierkegaard and his book Fear and Trembling. This episode is a philosophical exploration of the nature of faith. Søren Kierkegaard, argues that Abraham's faith transcends traditional ethical and moral boundaries, demanding an absolute, individual commitment to God that cannot be understood or justified through rational thought or by appealing to universal principles. Kierkegaard contrasts Abraham's "knight of faith" with the "tragic hero," who operates within the ethical framework and sacrifices for the sake of a greater good. He explores the unique challenges of understanding and emulating Abraham's radical faith, which requires an individual leap of faith beyond reason and universal ethical codes.
