Abstract
As Arnold turns from nature (I) to man (II), the empha.sis passes from movement as flux to movement as angst. Angst is the specifically h~man resdessness, corresponding in some sort to flux in nature as a whole. There is association between them: an awareness of flux is inherent in angst. But there is also contrast: we are in large measm·e reconciled and adapted to flux (whose basis is in the rhythms of nature) as we never can be to angst (whose basis is not rhythm but conflict). Angst is a disease sprung of maladjustment with environment. Especially is it the characteristic 'disease of modern lile', less 'strange' than inevitable, having regard to the character and conditions of that life.
