Phenomenology (Husserl and Heidegger) proposes that anguish points unintentionally to its object. Freud and Lacan’s psychoanalytical theories, meanwhile, argue that anguish relates to an object, which is indeed its cause. The thesis of this paper is that these two approaches, apparently contradictory, are actually complementary, because they move in two different dimensions: intentional and etiological.
