Abstract

The problematic of the intercultural relationship is investigated in the framework of Waldenfels’s phenomenological thinking. Beginning with Husserl’s discourse of experiencing-the-other and relationship between “homeworld” and “alienworld” , he denounces the ego-centric position of Husserl and proposes to make clear the original meaning of “the other”. The intertwining relationship between self and other, the “homeworld” and the “alienworld,” will be explicated in my paper. The distorted form of such intertwining relationship through possessing the other as well as the consequence of this distortion is going to be explored as well
