In this essay I introduce the problematic relationship that in the Western tradition has linked and separated philosophy and literature. In order to do so, I focus in particular on two thinkers who have constantly reflected on this topic, S. Kierkegaard and F. Pessoa, emphasizing, beyond easy parallels, the profound differences that distinguish their respective thoughts. I focus the analysis on the communicative theories developed by Kierkegaard and Pessoa, to highlight the essential difference between pseudonymy and heteronymy.
