## Description

Walter Lowrie's classic, bestselling translation of Søren Kierkegaard's most important and popular books remains unmatched for its readability and literary quality. Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death established Kierkegaard as the father of existentialism and have come to define his contribution to philosophy. Lowrie's translation, first published in 1941 and later revised, was the first in English, and it has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to Kierkegaard's thought. Kierkegaard counted Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death among "the most perfect books I have written," and in them he introduces two terms--"the absurd" and "despair"--that have become key terms in modern thought. Fear and Trembling takes up the story of Abraham and Isaac to explore a faith that transcends the ethical, persists in the face of the absurd, and meets its reward in the return of all that the faithful one is willing to sacrifice, while The Sickness Unto Death examines the spiritual anxiety of despair. Walter Lowrie's magnificent translation of these seminal works continues to provide an ideal introduction to Kierkegaard. And, as Gordon Marino argues in a new introduction, these books are as relevant as ever in today's age of anxiety.

Review: Nice - Nice quality, has a good feel to it. As for the book, it's not an easy read but it is very good.
Review: Foundational text of existential philosophy - One of the foundational books in existential psychology, it is an excellent read although it will challenge your understanding of life and philosophy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If You Don't Get It: Good
*by D***E on February 7, 2025*

The closest I can relate this to is to say people who need it will get what they need out of it, but people who need it and aren't ready to accept help will not. All Kierkegaard did was put forth a proposal for people to try to, in my mind, help them become good under the conditions of which their environment and times put them under [which quite often in human history, is an oppressive and at least today, malevolently nihilistic one]. You're being asked to believe in something beyond yourself to actually find yourself as you are meant to be to maximize your fulfillment, not happiness, if that makes sense. You can be happy today, or even for a second, and miserable quickly after. Yet in any given experience this book taught me at least that misery suffered for some THING is beyond the brief fleeting satisfaction of sensual gratification. Getting a degree sucks with its costs and time investment, but most don't say they regret it necessarily. There's a righteousness to the negative aspects because you did not suffer through them for fleeting pleasure, for nothing, but for a greater goal you eventually, faithfully, achieved. I'd like to point out this is like, my opinion ad yours is just as valid so long as you actually bother to read this book. Seriously, give it a try.
