- Angst
- A German word used by Martin Heidegger to specify the particular modern mood of unsettled fear and doubt that is prevalent in current industrial and post-industrial societies.
The French for Angst, used by Sartre, is 'nausée'.
Anguish or dread may be the best English approximations of this state of mind.
