| Summary: | Inherent in the self-other dynamic structure are the mechanisms to reduce the other to the self, to surrender the self to the other, to place an insurmountable wedge between them, and to effect a harmonious, mutually beneficent relationship. In this paper, I explore the varied self-other relations between the self in hope, confronting the prospect of its death as other. I also endeavour to unravel a possible eclipse of the above self-other patterns, which can serve as an indication of the uniqueness and perhaps the mystery that surround our attempts to come to terms with the reality of our own mortality. |
