ABSTRACT

The Concept of Anxiety: 150 Years Later was not only a commemorative work of the 150th anniversary of the publication of the famous work by Kierkegaard under the pseudonymous author Vigilius Haufniensis, but it was also a point of departure for the Spanish-speaking world's response to the Kierkegaard renaissance. The text consists of different topics about the implications that anxiety has for the human condition: temporality, suffering, destiny, providence, freedom, worldliness, the demonic, and self-realization with God. The article by Arne Grøn, The Concept of Anxiety in the Work of Kierkegaard, presents the thesis that even though it is a centerpiece of Kierkegaard's thought, The Concept of Anxiety is not a completed work in the sense that it takes up topics from the previous works giving them a new development that are not at all wholly worked out in the book. The article by Virginia Careaga, Destiny and/or Providence, presents the dialectical relations between freedom and necessity.
