Bettina Bergo

Anxiety

A Philosophical History

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Philosopher Bettina Bergo studies the sweeping history of anxiety as manifested in European philosophy over the last 250 years. Readers interested in intellectual history--even with a superficial knowledge of philosophy--will find rich material here, and insight into our present-day "age of anxiety." The book will trace important connections that link studies of anxiety in philosophy, from Kant's transcendental relegation of emotions to philosophical anthropology, to Levinas' phenomenology, among numerous others. Focusing on anxiety as embodied sensation and an emotion, Bergo opens new windows of thought, putting philosophers whose work has never before been compared into dialogue with one another.
