«El concepto de la angustia» is the philosophical essay by Sören Kierkegaard, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Work originally published in 1844, in which Kierkegaard articulates the foundations of Christian existentialism. He analyzes anxiety as an experience linked to sin and freedom: he describes it as the «vertigo of freedom», born of nothingness, which, if faced, can lead to faith and existential truth.
The translation from Danish is by Demetrio Gutiérrez Rivero; the title belongs to the collection «El libro de bolsillo - Humanidades».
Aimed at readers of philosophy and existentialist thought who want to approach a nineteenth-century classic.
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard was a Danish Lutheran theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christianity, morality, ethics, psychology, love, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony, and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", highlighting the importance of authenticity, personal choice and commitment, and the duty to love. Kierkegaard prioritized concrete human reality over abstract thinking.
