Angst and the Abyss

The Hermeneutics of Nothingness

David K. Coe

Series : AAR Academy Series, 49

This book takes Angst in the face of the abyss as its unifying metaphor. After a historical survey of Angst from ancient religions to Jacob Boehme, David K. Coe goes on to examine critically Angst in Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, and Tillich. He concludes by summarizing Angst in two modes: as a "reflective apprehension" of a self standing at the abyss (Sartre and Tillich), and as a "pre-reflective apprehension of the abyss itself (Kierkegaard and Heidegger).

Reviews

"Coe's book is helpful as a survey that keeps before us the Western meditation on this theme that have already occurred and cannot be ignored."--Religious Studies Review
