Structured as a historical-philosophical investigation of the concept of fear, this book is not a purely historical analysis of fear but also provides a broad brushwork rendition of the main concepts of fear as presented by selected philosophers and thinkers, and how they have approached its therapy. 001378214 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed April 25, 2018). 001378214 650_0 $$aFear. 001378214 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001378214 77608 $$iPrint version :$$z9783319783482 001378214 852__ $$bebk 001378214 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-78349-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001378214 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1378214$$pGLOBAL_SET 001378214 980__ $$aBIB 001378214 980__ $$aEBOOK 001378214 982__ $$aEbook 001378214 983__ $$aOnline 001378214 994__ $$a92$$bISE
