This article analyzes Part Two of Kierkegaard's unfinished manuscript, Johannes Climacus, or De omnibus dubitandum est. This is the place where the important concept of repetition is treated in a technical fashion for the first time. It is argued that Kierkegaard's analysis in this part of De omnibus is largely derived from Hegel's discussion of immediate consciousness in the "Sense Certainty" section of the Phenomenology of Spirit. It is in the context of Kierkegaard's analysis of this discussion that the concept of repetition is born.
