I think that Ssliwinski has not gotten very much outside her end-20th-century habits of thought. Ideas of the Other (more or less originating with, or at least popularized by, Sartre? I'm not well informed on this...) are very 20th-century, in my understanding-- unless Kierkegaard started this. But to get outside one's habitual 'clothing of thought' can be very anxious-making, in the line of agoraphobia, the fear of the open market, when one has been, unawares, all one's life, clothed in either one's family's world-view, or else its opposite (through adolescent rejection). Sharon S. really would profit by reading DuBois, and looking into some of the sources she suggests, for finding how strangely different the old Greeks were. Don
