The Teleological Suspension of the Ethical: Abraham, Isaac, and the Challenge of Faith
Abstract
God demands that Abraham sacrifice his son Isaac. Why? Kierkegaard tells us that God requires of Abraham a "teleological suspension of the ethical." In this essay I explore the meanings of the Ethical, God, and Faith in an effort to make sense of this phrase, and, more broadly, of the biblical story itself.Author's Profile
