Angoasa și politica între cele două războaie mondiale

The crisis of the liberal regimes, which deepened in the years immediately following the First World War, is signalled, on the politicalinstitutional level, by countless indications, sometimes macroscopic. However, it also finds multiple confirmations at the level of individual and collective life, that is, at the molecular level - to use an expression dear to Antonio Gramsci. The contribution aims to analyse, starting from the reflections of authors such as Ernest Bloch and, especially, Martin Heidegger - without neglecting the contribution to the theme of writers such as Franz Kafka - the philosophical affirmation of the concept of anguish, expressed not exclusively in the psychological field but also in the existential and political. The concept of anguish, stripped of the religious residue it had in Kierkegaard, proves to be an extraordinary vantage point for investigating the connection between the individual crisis and the political-institutional crisis of the interwar period.
