Soren Kierkegaard'da Kaygı Kavramı

Vigilius Haufniensis, known as Søren Kierkegaard, compares anxiety to the dizziness we feel when we stand on the edge of a cliff. Being able to decide whether to take a step towards the uncertainty of the abyss or not, and having all the possibilities laid out in front of us for a moment, creates this dizziness in people. Similarly, anxiety is the dizziness that occurs whenever the responsibility for choosing between possibilities lies with the individual. Like a person looking down from the edge of a cliff and feeling dizzy, freedom contemplates its own possibilities. He discovers the possibility of establishing a relationship with himself and the necessity of being responsible for this relationship. Therefore, anxiety is a "sympathetic antipathy, an antipathetic sympathy" in which we are both pushed towards and avoid it. The Concept of Anxiety in Søren Kierkegaard is an effort to explain anxiety, the most fundamental symptom of freedom in human existence, in the footsteps of the existentialist Danish philosopher Kierkegaard, in the context of its relationship with the concepts of inherited sin, freedom, time and despair.
