What is the central argument of postmodernist thought regarding the concept of the Other?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
The Other is a necessary and constitutive part of our own identity.
💡 Explanation:
Postmodernist thought argues that the Other is not simply an object of knowledge or a source of threat, but rather a necessary and constitutive part of our own identity. This is because our own identity is always defined in relation to the Other, and our understanding of ourselves is always mediated through our interactions with the Other.
