I 366
dialectic of this reciprocity, to reflect oneself out of the relationship to the other and thus become unreachable by him or her. By understanding the other, by claiming to know him or her, one takes away any legitimation of one's own claims. >I-You-Relationship/Gadamer
.
Cf. >Slavery/Nietzsche.
