In order to highlight the different ways in which anxiety manifests, a distinction is proposed between three basic functions: affective fear, felt anxieties, and mental anxiety. Each represents a specific form of vital danger management, encompassing not only physical protection functions but also the mental anticipation of possible risks and threats. However, anxiety—particularly in the form of emotional experiences—can become imbalanced, be experienced as distressing, and even become pathological.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eTherefore, it is hoped that people possess the mental strength to meaningfully incorporate their anxieties into their lives. To offer a nuanced perspective of the topic, relevant theories from biology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy are considered, with further exploration of the findings in social, political, and ideological-worldview applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-04-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662722367\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-72237-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 287\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44395274141836,"sku":"9783662722367","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662722367.jpg?v=1777386731","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662722367","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
