%X In this paper, I explore two different interpretations of Martin Heidegger¡¯s concept of the ¡°fundamental mood of dread [anxiety].¡± I focus on the intentional structure of the fundamental mood of dread, and how it can still be considered intentional despite its ¡®object¡¯ being ¡®the nothing;¡¯ I also explore the idea that this fundamental mood reveals ¡®the nothing.¡¯ I compare and contrast S.J. Paluch¡¯s claims that Heidegger both confirms and denies the intentional structure of the fundamental mood of dread, and Paluch¡¯s claim that the revealing action of fundamental moods can ¡®fail to reveal.¡± Furthermore, I explicate Ronald Grimsley¡¯s account that the fundamental mood of dread does reveal, and despite its inability to take the nothing as an object, still has an intentional structure.
