When he heard the voice that ordered him to sacrifice his son, was Abraham deluded? When is faith merely a form of self-deception? The existential challenge of attaining and preserving faith is as difficult today as ever before and perhaps even more so in a scientifically, technologically oriented culture. Faith can turn into inauthenticity as easily today as in Kierkegaard’s era. This book presents Kierkegaard’s illuminating responses to the existentially haunting questions of faith and authenticity.

Tamar Aylat-Yaguri teaches Philosophy at Tel Aviv University, Israel. She is the author of Human Dialogue with the Absolute.

Jon Stewart is Associate Professor at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre at the University of Copenhagen.

  • The Authenticity of Faith approaches Kierkegaard through a refreshing combination of Jewish and non-Jewish philosophical approaches, representing a unique conversation between established experts and others. As well as familiar questions concerning the leap and the Kierkegaard/Hegel debate, this collection offers valuable insights into questions of self-deception, grace, and Kierkegaard's relation to Judaism.

  • There is no one better than Kierkegaard at illuminating the human proclivity for self-deception. This collection is peerless in its unraveling of Kierkegaard's complicated views on the self-hoodwinking process.
