But he gets the term from Kierkegaard, who seems to have invented the term in a philosophical sense. Kierkegaard argues in "The Sickness Unto Death" that anxiety is an awful state to be in but that it can ultimately be healthy, since it leads one to the precipice from which one can make that leap of faith that's so important to his philosophy. Do you think there's room in Heidegger for that? Obviously, any leap of faith in Heidegger wouldn't be into Kierkegaard's religious sphere, but it could be a leap into authentic living, I suppose. Does such a leap have a place in Heidegger's philosophy? Heidegger, as you mention, sees anxiety as primarily a vice.
