Breve estudo sobre o conceito de angústia em Freud, em Kierkgaard e em Sartre e suas possíveis implicações para a abordagem da angústia na contemporaneidade

Abstract

The concept of anguish is very important for the theory and clinic practice in psychoanalysis and was always target of study since Freud. The present work proposes a retake of this study, bringing the most relevant contributions about the theme, with emphasis on the first and the second theory of anguish. Besides that, in the field of existential philosophy, Kierkegaard and Sartre have as starting point of their theories the concept of anguish, which will also be analyzed with the intention of searching the intersections with the Freudian theory and the differences between them. Draws attention to the fact that several aspects observed by these philosophers, although they are not contemporaries, are presented today. Thinking about that, the work proposes, besides boarding the contemporary aspects of Kierkegaard and Sartre about anguish, to bring the contributions of post-Freudians authors who have studied the theme, with the intention of answering how anguish is manifested in the contemporary scenario. Can we think that freedom gained with the excess of possibilities that permeates our lives generates anguish? Through a market order that propagates the imperative of enjoyment, how can we think of the experience of anguish in the face of responsibility of choosing among so many paths? The present work, when discussing the concept of anguish aims, therefore, to relaunch the question about the specificity of the manifestations of anguish in the contemporaneity, having as basis these questions.
