The Concept of Anxiety

The Concept of Anxiety, by Søren Kierkegaard, is a seminal work in existentialist philosophy that explores the nature of anxiety and its relationship to freedom and faith.

Kierkegaard argues that anxiety is not merely a negative emotion but a fundamental aspect of human existence, arising from our awareness of our own freedom and the possibilities it entails.

He connects anxiety to the ethical and religious dimensions of human life, examining how we respond to the demands of freedom and the potential for both good and evil.

The book's profound exploration of human existence continues to influence philosophical and theological thought.
