Abstract

This paper gives an account of Gilles Deleuze's and Jean-Paul Sartre's respective conceptions of "the Other" as this concept evolves in relation to Sartre's earliest insights into self/Other dynamics in his 1937 essay, The Transcendence of the Ego. By reading Deleuze through his early interlocutor—the philosopher and author Michel Tournier—I argue that the account of Otherness presented in Deleuze's early (and later disavowed) "Sartrean" works represents a critique of Sartre's own revisions to the concept of Otherness in his 1943 magnum opus, Being and Nothingness. Thus, we can read Sartre and Deleuze as offering competing views of how (and indeed if it is possible) to inherit Sartre's own early insights into the value of existential phenomenology for a "positive" account of interpersonal relationships.
