Preferred term

introversion  

Definition

  • Søren Kierkegaard uses this term to mean a withdrawal from the world, a withdrawal that is both the result of and an encouragement to reflection. So it is a form of introspection, and actively opposed to immediacy, the unquestioning immersion in everyday experience.
