Heidegger on Anxiety and Boredom

This document discusses existential moods like angst and boredom. It suggests that angst stems from Christian theological thought as a failure of love, and that boredom can be seen as a refusal of distress. It also references Heidegger's concept of thrownness as the already determined world we find ourselves in, and how moods can take on a seemingly objective or universal quality despite being subjective experiences.

Angst and Boredom as Ahistorical moods...

<-- well, anxiety leaves us speechless only in the propositional sense, the copulative "is"

Partly right: Heidegger speaks of Motivations...h exis...

Thrownness is the already-there that is "determined". A determined world: reminiscent of world as "Sachverhalt". Mood shows a sort of universality and apparent objectivity

Perhaps anxiety disappears because of its inception from within Christian/ theological thought? Anxiety as the failure/ consequent of agape?

Boredom as refusal of distress
