The “strengthening in the inner being”, is a metaphor originating in Plato, Philo and the Apostle Paul and used by S. Kierkegaard throughout his eighteen Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 and 1844. My goal is to define the kierkegaardian meaning of this metaphor, as well as the conditions for the strengthening, and to put this metaphor into context by relating it to its traditional / historical use, to the modern / Romantic definitions of inwardness, to the concept of the upbuilding and to Kierkegaard’s theological anthropology. I am also attempting to differentiate it from Kierkegaard’s use of this concept in his pseudonymous works, as well as to his later polemical use of the categories of the inner and outer in an anti-hegelian context, with reference to Hegel’s Science of Logics and to Johan Ludvig Heiberg’s dialectical discussion of the inner and the outer.
„Întărirea omului dinăuntru” în „Discursurile edificatoare” (1843-1844) de Søren Kierkegaard
„Întărirea omului dinăuntru” e o metaforă de sorginte platoniciană, filoniană și paulinică folosită de S. Kierkegaard în mod repetat în „Discursurile edificatoare” din 1843 si 1844. Proiectul de fată urmăreste definirea sensului kierkegaardian al acestei metafore si analiza conditiilor „întăririi omului dinăuntru”, comparându-le cu folosirea traditională / istorică a metaforei si cu cu definitiile moderne / romantice ale interioritătii. Pune, de asemenea, metafora omului interior în contextul antropologiei teologice a lui Kierkegaard si al conceptiei sale despre edificare, stabilind diferentele fată de folosirea ei în operele sale pseudonime și de folosirea categoriilor „interior” si „exterior” în mod polemic, în context anti-hegelian, cu trimitere la stiinta logicii a lui Hegel si la tematizarea dialectică a interiorului si exteriorului de către Johan Ludvig Heiberg.
