But if we consider the category of secrecy seriously, we discover its ethical importance. In it, we find a Self constructed through and by alterity. This conception of Self illuminates The Sickness unto death’s tortuous first pages but is not thematized within Kierkegaard himself. For that, we must turn to Jacques Derrida’s reading of Kierkegaard. Through Derrida, secrecy becomes the sign of a pronominal ethic, in which my Self and Alterity are compenetrated and become equally unsubstitutable. dim., 18 janv. 2026 19:38:58 +0100 dim., 18 janv. 2026 19:38:58 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1687
