There is an irreducible scandal, something traumatic and unexpected, in the encounter with another subject, in the fact that the subject {a self-consciousness} encounters outside itself, in front of it, another living being there in the world, among things, which also claims to be a subject {a self-consciousness}. As a subject, I am by definition alone, a singularity opposed to the entire world of things, a punctuality to which all the world appears, and all the phenomenological descriptions of my being always "together-with" others cannot ultimately cover up the scandal of there being another such singularity. In the guise of a living being in front of me which also claims to be a self-consciousness, infinity assumes a determinate form"- Hegel,
