I and "Other"

The book delves into a crucial question prevalent in both social sciences and humanities: the notion of identity and the influence of the Other in its formation. The topics explored are particularly pertinent in today's world, where numerous complex processes make it increasingly challenging to define identity, both personally and collectively. These questions are gaining significance, and various authors offer insightful perspectives in their scholarly essays, drawing on essential texts of Western culture. This work stands out due to its focus on the figure of the Other and its impact on shaping identity. Although such discussions have long-standing academic roots, the theme is distinctly relevant in the current era. The modern world is marked by significant mobility, leading to more frequent and routine encounters with the Other than ever before.
