This article focuses on Kierkegaard’s two-fold use of the categories of modality »possibility« and »reality« in his philosophy of existence. The difference between possibility and reality in the works of Kierkegaard is commonly referred to as to the difference between »Denken« and »Sein«, between »Thought« and» Being«. However Either/Or reveals that this dichotomy does only cover one aspect of their use. The other and maybe even more fundamental distinction is that of »possibility« and »reality« as a difference between two modes of ›existing‹.
