Kierkegaard's reflection on Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac presents a challenge both to ethics and religion.
Is it possible that Abraham was right in killing Isaac, and that can there be a religious "suspension" of ethics?
By a close reading of Kierkegaard's classic Fear and Trembling, this unit provides the student with an understanding both of the basic components of Kierkegaard's philosophy and of the issue of the relation to ethics to which he is responding.
