I created this figure above to show who's who in the really potent theories on anxiety/fear in the late 20th-to-early 21st centuries. These are well known, other than Ettinger. I have studied Ettinger since 2009 and have found really important improvements in her work beyond the big guys theories. For a really good Solstreif-Pirker 2023.pdf on all of their views in summary go to C. Solstreif-Pirker (2023). For one of my dialogues on "biology of fear" and "biology of love" a year or more ago with Dr. Narvaez, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8xISZRzxLk&t=373s

Solstreif-Pirker opens his Abstract with: "Building on the definition of contemporary modernity as an 'ecology of fear', this article articulates a counter-hegemonic concept of modernity that is not oriented toward a future end [being-towards-death] but toward the intensities of the [relation, being-towards-birthing] present moment...". (p. 561). 

I'm happy to have further detailed study and conversations on this article and its implications to Fear Studies, and to a Fearlessness Paradigm.

I just listened to this good talk on fear and fearlessness, radical trust, the future, child-rearing and an Indigenous view on life in general. I recommend:
