interlocutor, n.All

An Interlocutor (n.) always ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠stands farther back, behind the concept of him I communicate.

An Interlocutor (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the only term of pure experience: the one who starts from himself, foreign and yet presenting himself to me.

An Interlocutor (n.) cannot ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be deduced, for my relation with him is presupposed by every proof.

An Interlocutor (n.) slips ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠out of the theme that seemed to hold him: whatever I say about the Other is already said to him, and he upsurges behind the said.

An Interlocutor (n.) arises ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠again behind whomever thought has just apprehended — as the certainty of the cogito arises behind every negation of certainty.
