Abstract

This part has contrasted two responses to existential threat: Heidegger&s;s collapse into ideological certainty and Mandela&s;s emergence into relational openness. Heidegger sought to master anxiety through destiny; Mandela stayed within it until responsibility and relation were disclosed. Their contrast shows how leadership, philosophy, and therapy can either close or open the human horizon.
