Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to explore the method of communication used by Kierkegaard in his works, Danish philosopher himself called this method of writing indirect discourse. Most of Kierkegaard’s books were written pseudonymously, each pseudonym operates from a different philosophical platform. The problem of pseudonymity refers reader to the problem of language: reflection, ideality as distinct from immediacy. This is, in turn, a croos- reference to existence, which has been defined by Kierkegaard as a synthesis of ideality and immediacy.
