Abstract:

AS A PRELIMINARY TO FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF FEAR, PARTICULARLY in a political context, I would like to comment on the language by which we have traditionally designated fear of various kinds: for exam­ple, acute (such as fright) and chronic (such as dread), personal and collective. I shall discuss one celebrated pronouncement about fear in a political context at the beginning: it is only toward the end of my remarks that I shall return to the political agenda of the Fear confer­ence for which this paper was prepared.
