is a 'mood', not an emotion, and unlike an emotion, it is not about any particular being, but about beings as a whole and about one's being-in-the-world as a whole.

According to Heidegger, anxiety is a 'mood', not an emotion. In Being and Time, he emphasizes that, although it is not possible to know all beings, we can, nevertheless, feel or sense the totality of beings in a 'mood' ('What is Metaphysics'', in BW: 99). Thus anxiety (Angst, also sometimes translated as 'dread'), unlike an emotion, is not about any particular being (BT: 231)... rather, it is about beings as a whole and about my being-in-the-world as a whole (BT: 233). Consequently, when I am in its grip, it influences my entire outlook on existence and determines the nature of my overall involvement with the world and my responses to entities in general.

is a destroyer of scale, just as suffering makes us lose perspective.

The Sealed Treasure, 1960. . . Anxiety destroys scale, and suffering makes us lose perspective. (Saul Bellow)

is a fear, but a fear of nothing. Its object, as nothing, imparts to nothing some measure of content.

Kierkegaard has called these moments of anxiety 'nothing.' 'But what effect does nothing produce' It begets anxiety' (BA. 1992, p. 50), he writes and continues: 'The relation of anxiety to its object, to something that is nothing. . . ' (ibid., p. 51). The phrase 'something that is nothing' has dropped the hint that the nothing cannot be understood as a pure nothingness without any content.

The primary difference between Freud and Kierkegaard is that for Freud anxiety is rooted in man's biological nature and can be explained in terms of natural cause and effect processes, whereas for Kierkegaard it is a manifestation of human freedom.

is a mood in which everyday things lose their significance and 'everyday familiarity collapses'. It s the existential mode of the 'not at home'.

In certain MOODS, notably anxiety, everyday things lose their significance: 'Everyday familiarity collapses. Dasein has been individualized, but individualized as being-in-the-world. Being-in enters into the existential 'mode' of the 'not-at-home'' (BT, 189). Dasein is no longer 'at home' in the world, but it has not ceased to be in it... it could not do so without ceasing to be Dasein. (inwood 247)

is a mood that, in its extreme form, discloses things in their full but heretofore concealed strangeness as what is radically other.

This elimination of all the familiar use-meanings connected with things, which Heidegger calls nihilation, 'discloses these beings in their full but heretofore concealed strangeness as what is radically other with respect to the Nothing. In the clear night of the Nothing of anxiety the original openness of beings as such arises: that they are beings and not Nothing' ('What is Metaphysics'', in BW: 103 ).

is a point at which we, in our everyday existence, are forced to face the way in which our experience is organized around our own death.

The mood of anxiety, in particular, is a point at which Dasein is forced to face the way in which its experience is organized around its own death.

is a qualification of dreaming spirit. Awake, the difference between myself and my other is posited... sleeping, it is suspended... dreaming, it is an intimated nothing.

Anxiety is a qualification of dreaming spirit, as such it has its place in psychology. Awake, the difference between myself and my other is posited... sleeping, it is suspended... dreaming, it is an intimated nothing.. . .
