The essay focuses on a relational concept of identity that implies as its essential constitutive moment the confrontation between «self» and «other». Alfred Schütz’s reflection on the theme of social personality revolves around the idea according to which the self presents «from the beginning» a naturally ascribed social dimension: the construction and sharing of a common sense necessarily implies a comparison with the other, in this context understood essentially as alter ego. The idea of «radical otherness» developed by Bernhard Waldenfels indicates that «identity», and «experience» in general, is constitutively marked by a «gray area» not attributable either to the sphere of «self» nor that of «other». The other is configured as a presence-absence which asks the «self» for acknowledgement and acceptance, implying thus a «practical» dimension of our being rooted in the world along with other individuals as the original form of the self-other relationship.
