Résumé
Many agree that the more we feel that we can handle a given situation, the less afraid we are.But why? Is the situation no longer dangerous or is fear a response to more than danger? Here I analyse situations in which one reacts in cold blood to danger and argue that the formal object of fear is not the dangerous, but the unsafe. The unsafe indicates not only how the world is, but also how it can be handled. Safety, and its negative counterpart, are characterized by their duality, both evaluative (is the snake dangerous?) and agentive (is it under control?).
