The study examines Søren Kierkegaard's notion of inwardness in terms of its conceptual structure and implications for practical existence. It focuses on texts Kierkegaard published under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus and his lectures from 1843 to 1845. The anthropological issue of how self-understanding is constituted remains linked to the question of which characteristics inwardness possesses as a concrete form of life for identity formation.
