In the "Befindlichkeit" there is implied a disclosing per sistent reference (Angewiesenheit) to the world of a somewhat compelling force; and man may encounter anything that approaches him and concerns him out of 48 AN ACCOUNT OF " B E I N G A N D T I M E the world. —The concepts "Befind lichkeit" and "Gestimmtheit" are explicitly referred to in some of the essays; and the problem underlying them, the "in-Being" of human Dasein in the world, is com mon to all of them. In "Being and Time" itself, one special mode of "Befindlichkeit", that of fear, is analysed, to prepare for the characterisation of another mood, that of dread, which in its turn is relevant for the analysis of Care.
Dasein with the publicity of the "man" in its various forms offers to itself constantly the "temptation" (Ver suchung) of "Verfallen". Yet when the Dasein is actually falling a prey to the publicity of the "man", this publicity itself, and the Dasein's trust in it, exercises a profoundly appeasing influence (Beruhigung) as if everything was in the best order. But this appeasement by itself intensi fies the "Verfallen", driving to a restless activity and 56 AN ACCOUNT OF " B E I N G A N D T I M E " bringing Dasein into a state of "self-estrangement" (Entfremdung) in which its own innermost "potentiality of Being" becomes concealed to it.

Kierkegaard, "The Concept of Dread"; German edition, p. 36. * Heidegger analyses fear as a special mode of the "Befindlichkeit" of "in-Being" and dread as a funda mental "Befindlichkeit" disclosing Dasein to itself in an eminent way.
