In our project, we are interested in the phenomenological inner-difference between what is defined as ‘The Self’ and what is defined as ‘The Other’. The binary of self and other is perhaps one of the most basic theories of human consciousness and identity, claiming that the existence of an other, a not-self, allows the possibility or recognition of a self. In other words, one sees the other whose body one does not control, and who’s thoughts cannot hear. What is seen is separate, it is not ‘me’. Therefore, ‘I am me’. The self/other binary seems to be an accepted division of how the modern individual comprehends who she or he is, by recognizing what she or he is not.
