Summary/Abstract: There is a secret in Kierkegaard’s life which is also present in his works. That has a crucial importance for his existence and his views on communication. Telling about his melancholy Kierkegaard partially reveals his secret, and we understand that it is a problem relating to a “disproportion between the mental and the somatic” conditions. The main reason for Kierkegaard’s melancholy, according to one hypothesis, is actually his sickness: a form of epilepsy which today is known as “temporal-lope” epilepsy.
