MUNOZ PEREZ, Enrique Vladimir. Heidegger and the Fear (Furcht): The Presence of the COVID-19. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2023, n.49, pp.22-34.  Epub 30-Ene-2023. ISSN 2594-0619.

The question that guides this work is what does Martin Heidegger's phenomenology contribute to understand the phenomenon of fear caused by the COVID-19 disease? In my opinion, the analyzes of fear that Heidegger makes in paragraph 30 of Being and Time, can help to clarify the experience of the disease of COVID-19 and, to some extent, can help people to understand this phenomenon. In the same way, I would like to highlight the affective disposition or the feeling of fear (Furcht), which has been less attended by the Heideggerian interpretation, compared to the prolific studies related to anxiety (Angst).
