Bettina Bergo: Anxiety – a philosophical history. New York: Oxford University Press, 2021, 514 pp, ISBN: 978-0-19-753971-2

This review of Bettina Bergo’s book, Anxiety, draws attention both to the interweaving method of her account and to the substance of its implications. Her evocative historical and textual analyses, I argue, result in a widening conception of the mind that challenges our attempts to locate anxiety merely in the body or in consciousness (or in a tidy bridging of the two).
