This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Soren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the type of person who he calls the "knight of infinite resignation". This is a person who moves out of the aesthetic into the ethical, and who "makes the movement of infinity".

Very helpful, Fear and Trembling is a wonderful text.
It certainly is
Best Video, Sadler!
Thanks!
I'm loving Kierkegaard's thought more and more with each lecture! Thank you, Dr Sadler!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this wonderful explanation of this concept! Very inspirational. I had assumed that this fellow was negative by the name, and quite a bit of what I read of Kierkegaard years ago went over my head. I never got such a succinct explanation as this and I'm relieved to learn that he is a positive character in the play of life. His title sounds so negative though. I will have to watch the next video to find out what his relationship with his superior is. Your videos are excellent, btw!
Glad you're enjoying them
Thank you so much for this explanation. I needed this urgently for writing a piece on The Seventh Seal, particularly on the character of Antonius Block. Your way of explaining is so lucid and the fact that it all came clear to me is so amazing. I believe if I go back to Fear and Trembling again now, I'll have a more fulfilling read because I won't face the confusion I had during my first read. Thank you again!
Glad it was helpful for you
This one video singlehandedly solved the struggle of the last seven years of my life.
That sounds like the video probably just acted as a catalyst for lots of other stuff going on
@@GregoryBSadler It was, truly, a capstone moment. Thank you for making it.
Thank you for making me understand this beautiful text!
You’re very welcome
Excellent explanation! Having just finished the Arabic folk tale of Layla and Majnun, I cannot deny the many similarities between Majnun (a dervish) and Kierkegaard's Knight of Infinite Resignation. Interesting!
thank you professor Sadler
You’re welcome
This is extremely helpful!
Glad to read it
Feels similar to the Stoic idea of the inner citadel
Yes, that would be one of many different variations of the knight of infinite resignation
Came here after struggling with fear and trembling 😀
Hopefully the videos help
@@GregoryBSadler it certainly did, and it motivated me to proceed with the book! thanks!
Maybe I missed it, but I'm not quite sure I understood the difference between the Knight of faith and the Knight of infinite resignation. It sounded like you were going to give an explanation but then stopped way when the video stopped.
There’s another video on the knight of faith.
Then again, if you read the text - since you’re supposed to do that, right, you’ll quickly find your answer
@@GregoryBSadler Read the text as in Fear and Trembling or the description in the video? Either way, your response is noted and I will do my due diligence to read the source material and following video before asking a question again. My apologies.
@@DamienZshadow Always read the text that the video is about. the video is there to help you better understand the text, not to substitute for it
The knight of faith understands the difference between the two, the Knight of infinite resignation does not.
@@DaemonZodiac I feel...like I have been both educated and insulted at the same time. lol Thank you.
"denounce" or "renounce"?
This impossible created into a spiritual ideal.
And what of the process according to Kierkegaard leads to "spirit". Are theologians, Hegel, Liebniz and Kierkegaard for example conceptually describing the same nature of spirit?
What is this external yet incorporable world which returns to.govern from intuition?
I guess we should tune in longer with another episode of "Knights of infinite resignation" 🤣
