Text of the page (random words):
set it apart first its comprehensive coverage of the arguments for and against utilitarianism is unparalleled second it takes seriously the practical implications of utilitarianism for how we should live with a particular emphasis on utilitarianism s impartial beneficence and its focus on effectiveness guided by the conviction that practical ethics is more about how best to use our limited time and resources than which victims to hit with trolleys in thought experiments its practical upshots should prove amenable to utilitarians and non utilitarians alike learn more add to cart fear and trembling dialectical lyric søren kierkegaard translated with introduction and notes by alexander jech faithful to the original danish text and eminently readable jech s translation of fear and trembling admirably communicates the literary qualities of kierkegaard s text as well as his occasional fits of inspiration jech displays an unusual sensitivity not only to the literary linguistic qualities of kierkegaard s prose but also to his often realized aspirations to philosophical precision as presented by jech kierkegaard is not simply a gifted writer and speculative theologian dabbling in philosophy but a philosopher concerned to limn the optimal role of philosophical reflection and to do so experimentally especially with respect to matters of morality and faith the translation is furthermore supplemented by very helpful explanatory notes that convey kierkegaard s own erudition and the multiple influences upon his thinking the historical glossary will become a valuable reference tool for students and scholars of kierkegaard s writings it is likely to play a welcome role in encouraging an improved understanding of what kierkegaard means when he employs his

introduction by tara welch an excellent piece of work lombardo and mcclure have struck the right balance between literal and lyrical formal and informal each of the letters has a distinct voice something clear in the latin but difficult to convey there are many small pleasures for the reader looking at the latin duplicated line starts and ends verbal effects etc most are unobtrusive which is all to the good this translation is not designed to be a crib though it wouldn t be bad as one more importantly the poems read well in english there are lots of glancing references to the tropes of elegy but they won t slow down the first time reader of the poems the translators have even made something of several of the puns e g verbum vela dare an impressive feat welch s introduction is
