someone who is legally equal though different. but a foreigner a<br />

stranger ) (. ( )( (extraneous. And for. this very reason his strangeness<br />

has to be exorcized.. Otherness denied becomes a spectre and returns in<br />

the form of a. selfdestructive process. This too is the transparency of<br />

evil.. Alienation is no more the Other as gaze the Other as mirror the<br />

Other as. opacity all are gone. Henceforward it is the transparency of<br />

others that. represents absolute danger. Without the Other as mirror as<br />

The subject. has. not succeeded in negating himself as subject within<br />

the framework of a. totalization of the world. A determinate negation of<br />
