Summary
Anxiety is a fundamental disposedness or fundamental mood in which Dasein is exposed to a threat in its own being. In contrast, fear is a mood in which a case of Dasein is open to threats in its environment. Heidegger analyzes fear (Furcht) in Being and Time in order to illustrate the phenomenon of disposedness and he analyzes anxiety (Angst, also translated as “angst” or “dread”) in order to explain falling and reveal the unity of care.
