Fear And Trembling/Repetition by Soren Kierkegaard
A Dialectical Lyric; A Psychological Exposition in the Form of a Diary
A compact, existential meditation that contrasts two complementary inquiries: one into the paradox of absolute faith exemplified by a father’s willingness to sacrifice his son, and the other into the possibility of reclaiming life through repetition and inward renewal. The work probes how the individual relates subjectively to the absolute, arguing that true faith can require a paradoxical suspension of universal ethical norms and a passionate leap beyond reason, while repetition offers a way to restore meaning through personal transformation rather than mere recurrence. Themes of anguish, irony, individuality, and the limits of systematic thought run through the pieces as they examine what it means to become a true self in the face of uncertainty.
