The main aim of the article is to present Kierkegaard and Lévinas' concept of dialogicity. The relationship between the two philosophers is an interesting but not well-known problem in Polish humanities. Kierkegaard asserts that authentic philosophy must have a dialogical form - by a maieutical self-irony one can experience a stratification of one's own self. Lévinas criticizes Kierkegaard's concept of the dialogue, meaning that it is limited by a lonely subject having an infinite discussion with his or her own self, which the French dialogist recognizes as usual egoism. In the paper, a detailed discussion between these two ideas is presented.
