I am looking for refereed scholarship addressing the temporality of the fear emotion. All agree that fear of dangers that existed in the past is normally impossible. Plato defines fear as the <i>expectation</i> of a future ill-happenstance. I had this personal experience many decades ago. I was stabbed and convinced myself in an ambulance on the way to Bellevue in NYC that I was dying. As a matter of fact I was not dying. But while I believed that I was, I felt no fear, and experienced a kind of twilight zoney frame of mind as I apparently immediately reconciled myself to the fact. That twilight zoney sensation is attested to in many written accounts of near death experiences.
My question:are there scholarly papers that address the temporal aspect of the emotion of fear?
