Abraham has transcended the universal to a point where his love for G-d brings him to an act to G-d that can only be explained by the rest of us as hating everything but G-d. However, for the act to hold the meaning it does Abraham must in fact love Isaac as much as a father ought to love his son. Without the love for Isaac the act he commits wont bring about the suspension of the ethical because then the act can not be the act of love for G-d that holds the ethical as temptation.cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172091508441513791noreply@blogger.com
