Understand uses of the concept

Fear anticipates a possible harm and can distort the present. The texts examine both its object and the judgement that gives it force.

Stoic preparation, the Epicurean argument about death, and religious uses of fear are not interchangeable. Results retain author, work, and reference so those differences remain legible.

Lexical variants: crainte, peur, fear, timor, φοβ
