The question of identity.
Otherness from the identity of the self in Pau Ricoeur. In order to speak of identity, it is necessary to start from the process of identification or individuation, that is to say, that capacity according to which one can indicate something within a particular range of things of the same type. Following this process, the person would be a particular within the rest of the existing physical bodies. At this level the person does not identify himself, he is simply a “thing” in relation to others. It is necessary for the power of self-designation to emerge in order for the concept of personhood to change from being a thing of a single kind to a self.
