Summary/Abstract: This journey through some aspects of a Polyphonic Other will allow us to understand how the notion of otherness, as described in the 19th century in its relation to itself, gives way timidly (in our highly narcissistic and egotistical societies), “to a quest for deep structures that shape identity in its relational aspect”, in other words, where any “question of the Other”, as suggested by Jean-Marie Benoist, must appear “as constitutive of identity”.
