Social Sciences - Philosophy / Kierkegaard
German term or phrase: Leidenschaft des Innerlichen
Hard for me to wax so poetic:

Eine „Leidenschaft des Innerlichen“ entsprang für Kierkegaard daraus, dass die Position des Unendlichen vom endlichen, einzelnen Menschen nicht bezogen werden könnte, obwohl paradoxerweise im endlichen Bewußtsein das Unendliche enthalten sei.

Thanks for any help!

Reference: passion of inwardness

Reference information:
A Post-Script to Kierkegaard’s ‘Passion of Inwardness’

the influence of Kierkegaard’s faith in his development of “ existentialism”, as well as how this philosophical approach enabled his to radically invert contemporary considerations of Christianity as a religion based on objectivity to a subjective ‘passion of inwardness’.

On another level, SK values the objective mode as setting up the tension that is required for the apprehension of subjective truth. Objectivity never leads to certainty, yet our lives demand urgent, irrepeatable choices. As SK says, "Faith is the contradiction between the infinite passion of inwardness and objective uncertainty.
