The Evolution of Anxiety

Kirkegaard’s effect on Heidegger’s and Sartre’s interpretation of anxiety

Summary/Abstract: In my paper entitled “The Evolution of Anxiety – Kirkegaard’s effect on Heidegger’s and Sartre’s interpretation of anxiety” I examine the appearance of the concept of anxiety in philosophical discourse. The main authors I relied on were Jean Paul Sartre, Soren Kierkegaard and Martin Heidegger. My goal was to show that the concept of the origin of the phenomenon of anxiety hails from Kirkegaard’s works, who was the first thinker to discuss the term “anxiety” in a philosophical and critical way. I concluded that the Danish philosopher’s merit is not limited to introducing the concept of anxiety in philosophical discourse, since his impact and thoughts can also be clearly demonstrated in Heidegger’s and Sartre’s work.
