Collegium Invisibile

is the one through which I know why I myself am: 'I know that I am because I know another is'.

At the start of the origin of awareness of the self lies the presence of you, and perhaps even the presence ofa a more general we. Only in dialogue, in argument, in opposition, and also in aspiring towards a new community is awareness of my self created, as a self-containing being, seperate from another. I know that I am because, I know another is' (Tishner in Kapuscinski 'the other' (68)
