Publication of The Concept of Anxiety

When: 17 June 1844
Where: Publication place not stated in supplied sources; Copenhagen is associated only through the pseudonym Vigilius Haufniensis ('the Watchman' of Copenhagen)
Part of: Kierkegaard publishes The Concept of Anxiety

Kierkegaard published The Concept of Anxiety on 17 June 1844 under the pseudonym Vigilius Haufniensis, exploring anxiety, freedom, and original sin.

The work, titled Begrebet Angest in Danish, was published on 17 June 1844, the same date as Prefaces. It is a philosophical deliberation on hereditary sin, using the pseudonym Vigilius Haufniensis, interpreted as 'the Watchman' of Copenhagen. No supplied passage states the city of publication; the Copenhagen association rests on the pseudonym's meaning rather than a documented publication place.
