Definition
- Fear is an emotion. Following the subtle analysis of emotions in Jon Elster's Alchemies of the Mind, fear may be a visceral reaction, in which case it is referred to as phobia, or it may be rationally induced by the expectation of something occurring with consequences that are deemed terrible.
