The Types of Anxiety: Death, Guilt, Meaninglessness

While lecturing on anxiety, Christian existentialist philosopher Paul Tillich noticed that there was an enormous response in the post-war era, especially in the younger people, and he sought to give an answer to the growing anxiety which had developed. The aftereffects of the two World Wars had left the world in a state of disorientation, estrangement, anxiety and meaninglessness. Tillich tells us that there are three types of anxiety: anxiety of death which is tied to the unpredictability of fate (ontic anxiety) anxiety of guilt and condemnation which is linked to the failure to live up to our ideal (moral anxiety), and anxiety of emptiness and meaninglessness, when what one had found most meaningful in life is transformed into indifference or aversion (spiritual anxiety). 📨 Free newsletter: https://eternalisedofficial.com/subscribe ⭐ Support this work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 Support this work on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 📖 eBooks https://ko-fi.com/eternalised/shop ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 📚 My personal library: https://eternalisedofficial.com/library 📝 Access transcript: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/02/24/the-courage-to-be 🎨 Access artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/patron-benefits ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Courage to Be https://amzn.to/3M0gp3O ▶ Dynamics of Faith https://amzn.to/3viWUxl ▶ Systematic Theology: Three Volumes in One https://amzn.to/3hbjlfF 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
