Beschreibung

This book highlights the different ways in which anxiety occurs, and, at the same time, sheds light on the importance of anxiety and in what ways it can be meaningful. The book proposes a distinction between three basic manifestations of anxiety: affective fear, felt anxieties, and mental anxiety. Each represents a specific form of vital danger management, encompassing not only physical protection functions but also the mental anticipation of possible risks and threats.
Anxiety accompanies us whenever and wherever we are. It is part of being human. Humans are creatures of anxiety, and this shapes their relationship to the world, to others, and to themselves. Anxiety can become imbalanced, be experienced as distressing, and even become pathological. This book offers a nuanced perspective on the topic, incorporating relevant theories from biology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy, as well as social, political, and ideological-worldview applications, as such demonstrating the relevance as well as the pitfalls of various manifestations of anxiety.
