Summary/Abstract: An outline ofthe bulwark hermeneutics has been presented within the grasp of a hypothesis declaring it the determinant of the whatness of awareness of Croatian national survival. In this awareness' questioning for the being of its survival and concern for its being-in-the-world, in terms of subject, the bulwark concept has no significance. The latter is in the awareness, and somehow it is the awareness. The bulwark concept is included into the horizon of self-understanding of awareness which in turn perceives itself in ways of its bulwark survival. Three statements of this awareness have been presented in the introduction: Croatia is (was) a buwark, Croatians are (were) a bulwark and We Croatians are (were) a bulwark. Subsequently expounded is the issue of the awareness of national survival: for them the metaphorical use of bulwark is borne by the ontological might of the statement to be a bulwark. Outlined in the article is the bulwark language field. In it moves the awareness of national survival, in each of its now and here, this awareness has somehow begun.
