Lecture hosted by the Department of Systematic Theology, Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen.
It is no other than Martin Heidegger who, in his Being and Time, indicated that his own account of anxiety has three precursors: Augustine, Luther and Kierkegaard. The lecture will single out the middle man in this filiation and trace the "courage to be anxious" that Heidegger claimed to be the condition of any proper project of freedom in the work of Martin Luther. This will allow to conceive of what could be a genuinely Lutheran courage.
