Abstract

On this paper, we seek to analyze Kierkegaard’s exposition of Abraham as the pseudonym, Johannes de Silentio, in Fear and Trembling. We will show the characteristics of the individual on the religious stage in its movement towards faith and in relation to the world, the ethical. So that it’s clear that the pseudonym is looking to showing one idea at the beginning to the reader in order to change that view at end with a deeper analysis raising the reader’s consciousness.
