In his book Soi-m\u00eame comme un autre (Seuil 1990), the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) builds his reflection on this ‘as’ which, according to him, allows us to escape from two harmful tendencies: the self-sufficiency of an exalted self on the one hand, and the erasure of an annihilated self on the other. In both cases, the question of otherness appears to be crucial. However, since their emergence, Christianity and Islam have developed a discourse on the other by summoning several types of notions. Our presentation will start from the current context where the category of the other is often used either to be overtaken by that of the same (same root, same God, same value…) or to legitimise an exteriority that makes it incompatible to be together (the other becomes so other that he or she is opposed to me). It will attempt to define some reflexive lines of enquiry to question what lies behind the polemics and the unspoken.<\/p>\n
