The article moves the focus from the fear of God - on which this number of the review insists - to the fear of existence, proposing to understand the latter in connection with the feeling of the Sublime. From this perspective courage is not simply fearlessness, but a way to transform fear into an open attitude towards life in this world. Plato, Hobbes and Kant are taken into consideration.

Abstract
The article moves the focus from the fear of God - on which this number of the review insists - to the fear of existence, proposing to understand the latter in connection with the feeling of the Sublime. From this perspective courage is not simply fearlessness, but a way to transform fear into an open attitude towards life in this world. Plato, Hobbes and Kant are taken into consideration.
