Otherness
What is Otherness? It is the capability of recognizing the other as a legitimate other, in his completeness, his dignity, his rights, and above all, his differences.

Otherness
The existence of the “individual I” is only allowed by contact with the “other”
Or, as Gregory Bateson put it, “It takes two to know one”.

Coaching and Conviviality
NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
The relationship of “I” with “Other” (people, society, nature, the market place, our planet) can take on different forms depending on the perspective of “I”.
“Other”
“I”
Coaching and Conviviality
NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
“I” the agent and the “other” as the object.
There is a separation of the “I” that stands before the “other”. This can be healthy.
Land based tribe – tree as a canoe or wood for the fire, White Elk as the warrior
Sunset as beautiful sight – “Look at that beautiful sunset.”

NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
And there is also a oneness: in seeing the other , we can see ourselves.
If not, we stop being human beings and start becoming just strategy machines for the use and the consumption of others.
Coaching and Conviviality
NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
The relationship of “I”-“other” is a duality, separation and wholeness alternate all the time.
Conviviality is exactly that – a healthy alternation.
Coaching and Conviviality
NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
In a convival relationship, the Other is seen as an equal, stablishing a sense of respect, openess and
caring.
Conviviality is becoming present to the other – in all meanings that this word allows.
Coaching and Conviviality
NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
However, there is a risk of forgetting little by little that we belong to the whole. Without balance from wholeness, separation degrades to utilitarism.
In an utilitarian relationship, the I subordinates the Other to his interests and personal goals. The other is reduced to an object, an instrument; control prevails.

“Instrumentalization”

The other as a legitimate other
Coaching and Conviviality
NÚCLEOPensamento & Ação
Conviviality is an attitude
Not allowing the other to be reduced to an object or instrument to fulfill self interests
Being present for the other
Of recognizing oneself in the other
So that through indentification comes respect, openess and care
