"In The Point of View for My Work as an Author, Kierkegaard argues at length that the purpose of the aesthetic literature is to provide an aesthetic counterpart to the religious, upbuilding literature, but one that points to the religious. However, The Concept of Anxiety is only briefly mentioned in a footnote as part of a list of aesthetic works."

That was unexpected. I expected CoA to be "upbuilding".

[kierkegaard] is seeking insight into being human. To be sure, anxiety is a felt affect, but Kierkegaard does not limit his discussion of anxiety to the feeling or mood of anxiety. Rather, he goes on to describe the structure of the human self, of which anxiety gives us insight

TL;DR, BAT is Kierkegaard fanfic.

Angest is both an attraction to and a repulsion from the nothingness of future possibilities. “Anxiety” seems to capture the crucial tension between eagerness and uneasiness in Kierkegaard’s concept more completely than does dread

[Kierkegaard] writes that spirit relates itself to itself as anxiety (CA, 44). But to call the relation of spirit to itself anxiety is to speak of anxiety as a structure of human being, that is, as an ontological structure.
