[edit] Checking

This page was barely coherent, so I've rewritten it. I'm not a philosopher though, so it needs checking. Also, I've added some invisible queries within the text that need answering.The Singing Badger 18:27, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Women

This is a good introduction but it should be more greatly emphasised that the other is not just women. Otherness also comes out of race, religion and so on. Even beyond this everyone feels other at some point. Even a rich, white man can be made to feel other through social slights. Insertformulaherei love being an other person

I see nothing in the article which indicates that the other is just women. The first example given, in the introduction, is Asians construed as the other by Europeans. Hyacinth 06:13, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why no criticisms?

every other page expresses some sort of criticisms of the thought that is being described, I think that some should be added to this page. mainly from the essay written by Slavoj Zizik titled "Smashing the neighbor's face." Zizek expresses several very interesting, and convincing, arguments against the ethic of the other, most specifically the justifications made by levinas. (Impaler2g19 05:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC))
