Anguish
Anguish is a term used in philosophy, often as a translation from the German "Angst". It is a paramount feature of existentialist philosophy, in which anguish is often understood as the experience of an utterly free being in a world with zero absolutes (existential despair). In the theology of Søren Kierkegaard, it refers to a being with total free will who is in a constant state of spiritual fear that his freedom will lead him to fall short of the standards that God has laid out for him.
In the teachings of Jean-Paul Sartre, anguish is seen when an utterly free being realizes the unpredictability of his or her activity. For example, when walking along a cliff, you would feel anguish to know that you have the freedom to throw yourself down to your imminent death.
