Alvin Plantinga's essay "On Ockham's Way Out" discusses the proposition that this man "once existed" in reference to God's knowledge of the contingent future. John Broome used the example of this man as someone presented with incommensurable choice, and this man is compared to a "single individual" in the Upbuilding Discourses that preface another work. This man "gained the prescriptive right to be a great man" in a work that discusses his hiddenness rendering him "higher than the universal." This man's story is compared to Agnes and the Mermaid in that work, which claims that Hegel should have rejected this man as the "father of faith." This man's dilemma is central to a work whose three problemata question whether there is an "absolute duty to God" or a "teleological suspension of the ethical." For 10 points, name this archetypical "knight of faith" whose journey to Moriah to sacrifice his son Isaac is central to Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling.
