Kierkegaard's Abraham and Levinas's Abraham

We considered two different narrative of story of Abraham in the thought of Sorn Kierkegaard and Levinas. This article has two sections. Section one involves Kierkegaard’s existentialistic picture of Abraham which it try to explain suspending of ethics by overcoming of faith on reason. Kierkegaard believed that Abraham will save by suspending of ethics and the sacrifice of Isaac is not transgressing ethics. Section two involves Levine’s ethical picture of Abraham and the sacrificing of Isaac. Levinas holds that high moment in this story is moment that Abraham hears second voice of God and he return to ethics، hence he does not kill Isaac. According to Levinas، the relation between Abraham and God is only possible by face of Isaac and Levinas describes this relation as “face to face” relationship. He states that the essence of this relationship is ethical not religious.
