Otherness - Part 2 The Conversation

    • Philosophy

The first part of this episode looked to infancy and to our essential nature to understand the problem of the Other.This second part considers societal sources of our tendency to subjugate and exile those different from us. In this view, the structure of the mind repeats the politics of the world as much as vice versa. To tell the story, we have drawn from original interviews with psychoanalysts Jessica Benjamin, Cynthia Chalker, George Makari, Donna Orange, Eyal Rozmarin, John Riker, Robert Stolorow and Koichi Togashi, as well as from interviews with the philosopher Shaun Gallagher and cultural critic L.M Sacasas.
