"I am conscious of myself and become myself only while revealing myself for another, through another, and with the help of another. The most important acts constituting self-consciousness are determined by a relationship toward another consciousness
(toward a "thou")…
The very being of man (both external and internal) is the deepest communion. To be means to communicate… To be means to be for another, and through the other, for oneself.
A person has no internal sovereign territory, he is wholly and always on the boundary: looking inside himself, he looks into the eyes of another or with the eyes of another… I cannot manage without another, I cannot become myself without another; I must find myself in another by finding another in myself (in mutual reflection and mutual acceptance)…"
我發現如果要認識自己，是要透過別人對我的看法，別人與我的行為，構成真正的自己。
萬物之靈，人，有著最深層的交流(無論內部或外部)。交流是一種溝通的手段，是一種用其他人或事來構成自我意識的手段。
一個人沒有自己的內部主權領土，他是完全和永遠在邊界上：他要觀察自己，他從別人的眼裡看到自己，或從別人(的行為)看到自己。
我無法生活如果沒有別人；我無法變成我自己如果沒有別人；我必須從別人那找到我自己，就像從我自己裡找到其他人。(在相互反射和相互接受的地方)...
