Anguish Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Anguish is a term used in philosophy, often as a translation from the Germanic angst. It is a paramount feature of existentialist philosophy, in which anguish is often understood as the experience of an utterly free being in a world with zero absolutes (existential despair). In the theology of Kierkegaard, it refers to a being with total free will who is in a constant state of spiritual fear that his freedom will lead him to fall short of the standards that God has laid out for him.
