- Synopsis
- The Sickness unto Death presupposes anxiety but excludes it from consideration, inasmuch as despair is a more advanced stage: "in all despair there is an interplay of finitude and infinitude, of the divine and the human, of freedom and necessity." Anxiety is touched upon very briefly in The Sickness unto Death by way of the analogy of dizziness, but the exclusion of a consideration of anxiety in the advance to an analysis of despair is emphasized by the removal of allusions to anxiety and its related concept of hereditary sin. The relation between anxiety, despair, and sin is signaled, however, in "the dialectic of sin," because "sin presupposes itself" through anxiety.
