A collection of texts by representatives of various scientific (philosophy, management sciences) and artistic (visual arts) disciplines. The title anxiety becomes the subject of multifaceted reflection in its various incarnations – as trepidation, as fear, in connection with death, climate crisis, in life, politics, literature. In the face of profound transformations of existing social orders, perhaps nothing is as strongly present – even if not necessarily as strongly expressed or problematized – as precisely fear. What are we afraid of today and for what reason? – constitutes probably one of the most topical questions.
