Walter Lowrie's classic, bestselling translation of Soren
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."
