In this essay I will talk about Martin Heidegger's existential accounts of anxiety in his book Being and Time, and how this relates to the broader examination of the meaning of being. . In the first section, I will summarize Heidegger's arguments, and in the second section of my article, I will examine some disagreements with Heidegger's arguments. I will summarize Heidegger's argument about "anxiety" as a mood in three distinct parts.**First, Let us consider Dasein broadly in relation to the world in which it lives. This is important because it is through this state of anxiety that Dasein comes to a conclusion about its being in the world and its relationship with the world. Heidegger describes anxiety as a mood and a “state of mind” (German paragraph 184). Dasein experiences this state of mind to the point of questioning its own existence, as if its mind splits and begins to analyze itself from a distance. In the words of Heidegger: “in anxiety, Dasein is brought before itself through its own Being” (184). While Dasein is in this particular state of anxiety, it questions its relationship with the outside world, with everything that is not itself. The world is now present to Dasein, but it is only through moods that this is possible.**Let us now go into depth on what the mood of anxiety actually is and what it is not. NOT. Anxiety is so important in Heidegger's existential account in Being and Time because the particularity of this state of mind – unlike other states like fear and boredom – is that it brings Dasein to questioning one's own being. But where does it all start? Heidegger explains: "Since our aim is to advance towards the being of the totality of the structural whole, we will take as our starting point the conce... middle of paper......sein realizes that in fact, nothing has any real meaning: “the entities in the world have so little importance in themselves” (187). This highlights the agony and distress of Dasein's own existence. Finally, the absurdity of everything leads to the individualization of Dasein. Dasein faces its solitude in the world. This does not mean that Dasein is the only entity that exists in the world. On the contrary, once we question our own existence and recognize the insignificance of everything in the world, it is this insignificance of everything around Dasein that makes it feel isolated. I will now show how I agree with these three main arguments made by Heidegger about his existentialist approach. explain anxiety, but also how, on the other hand, they lack depth. I do not agree with the statement that moods in general distance us from our relationship with the world..
