Frygt og Bæven. Dialektisk Lyrik af Johannes de Silentio. - [FEAR AND TREMBLING - INTRODUCING THE LEAP OF FAITH]
Kjøbenhavn, 1843. 8vo. Contemporary dark brown half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Capitals and a bit of the front hinge worn, but overall very nice and tight. Internally a bit of brownspotting (as always due to the quality of the paper), but less than usual. Old owner's signature to title-page. VIII, 135 pp.
First edition of one of Kierkegaard's most important and sought-after works, Fear and Trembling, which is rather more difficult to find than most of his other works. Fear and Trembling is one of Kierkegaard’s most important works. And it is also one of his most difficult. It deals – in forceful brevity – with the relationship between reason and faith and provides us with Kierkegaard’s most thorough exposition of the religious stage, which he considered the most meaningful form of existence. It is here that Kierkegaard introduces the “tragic hero” and contrasts it to the “Knight of Faith”, who both ignore their own wishes for a higher good. These two essential figures epitomize the ethical and the religious and pave the way for the understanding of these stages in Kierkegaard’s philosophy. It is arguably also here that the idea of the essential leap of faith is introduced for the first time. The Knight of Faith sacrifices his son at the command of God and thus sets aside an ethical demand in in order to attain a higher goal that exists beyond the ethical. This teleological suspension of the ethical requires a leap of faith that is only possible through faith in virtue of the absurd. Himmelstrup 48.

Kjøbenhavn [Copenhagen], 1845. Lex8vo. Nice contemporary brown half cloth with gilt title to spine. Capitals worn and wear along upper front hinge. Corners worn. In spite of the wear, an attractive and tight copy. First and last leaves with a bit of brownspotting, otherwise only light occasional spotting. Old owner's signature to title-page. VIII, 383 pp.
First edition of one of Kierkegaard's main works, ""Stages on Life's Way"", his pivotal sequal to his main work, ""Either-Or"", in which he had presented the first two stages, the aesthetic and the ethical. In ""Stages on Life's Way"", he continues his work on these stages and moves on to present also the religious stage, which takes up ab. two thirds of the work. The religious stage is that in which man attains a personal relationship with God and that in which man only truly begins to exist, as the aesthetic and ethical stages are inadequate. It is in this foundational work, in the religious stage, that Kierkegaard first properly describes what is now known as the ""Leap of Faith"" (in fact a ""leap to faith""), namely the leap that involves willing and belief in stead of reason and knowledge, the leap that you make in order to connect to God and which requires that which he calls ""the suspension of the ethical"". Stages on Life’s Way is one of Kierkegaard’s most important works. Not only does it sum up and explain some of the most important themes of Kierkegaard’s previous works, utilizing the characters and pseudonymous authors of the earlier works to do so" it goes beyond these foundational themes, introduces the religious stage, and points to the further development of the central themes in Kierkegaard’s philosophy, most of which are only fully developed in Concluding Unscientific Postscript.
