The concept of fear

Outstanding Danish thinker Seren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) can undoubtedly be considered the forerunner of existentialist philosophizing, in addition, his ideas had a direct impact on the “dialectical theology” of Karl Bart, on philosophical anthropology, personalism and other currents, where the emphasis is transferred to Personal appropriation of a certain truth, on a tense, personal experience and design of meanings. The treatise "The concept of fear" ("Begrebet Angest") was published by Kierkegoor in 1844 under the pseudonym Vigili Haurfniensii. This psychological essay is entirely devoted to the problem of original sin (Arvesynd, letters: "hereditary sin"), which underlies fear (Angest) Kierkegaard was the first philosopher to deliberate the “fear-web” (Frygt), that is, fear to whom we can find a specific reason, and a painful, sucking person from the inside, fear-vulnery (Angest), is a fear of nothing, deprived of rational explanations. Despite the apparent pseudo -scientific form, Kierkegaard himself attributed the “concept of fear” to the topics of his "frivolous works". Perhaps here for the first time in the latest theological literature the problem of sensuality, eroticism and sexuality from the perspective of Christian dogmatics is examined in detail
