The Concept of Anxiety

This first new translation in a generation of Søren Kierkegaard's influential work brings to life his exploration of sin, guilt, and the human experience of anxiety. Originally published in 1844, this treatise identifies anxiety as a fundamental state of being, emphasizing the importance of facing it rather than escaping through medication. Alastair Hannay’s translation captures the original's rich, direct prose, aiming to elevate this classic to its rightful status among Kierkegaard's seminal texts in existentialism and moral psychology.
