1. other

   The Other or Constitutive Other is a key concept in continental philosophy; it opposes the Same. The Other refers, or attempts to refer, to that which is other than the initial concept being considered. The Constitutive Other often denotes a person Other than one's self; hence, the Other is identified as "different"; thus the spelling is often capitalized.

Examples of other in a Sentence

1. Robert Tornabell:

   It's a change in the business model that has been taking place in big cities. It's already happened in Paris, Florence, Venice, franchises generate economic activity, but the city's essence is lost, the essence that makes it different from other cities. It's called progress, but there are things whose value cannot be calculated.

2. Chairman Schiff:

   At the end of the day we're going to have to decide based on the evidence that you and others provide whether we're prepared to accept in the presence of the United States, a situation where the president for their own personal or political benefit can condition military aid, diplomatic meetings or any other performance of an official act in order to get help in their reelection.

3. Harold Rosenberg:

   Politics in the United States consists of the struggle between those whose change has been arrested by success or failure, on one side, and those who are still engaged in changing themselves, on the other. Agitators of arrested metamorphosis versus agitators of continued metamorphosis. The former have the advantage of numbers (since most people accept themselves as successes or failures quite early), the latter of vitality and visibility (since self-transformation, though it begins from within, with ideology, religion, drugs, tends to express itself publicly through costume and jargon).

4. Marshall Perrin:

   We believe that, most likely, what we're seeing is more uniform cloud cover on one of these planets versus more patchy cloud cover on the other, where you can see deeper into the atmospheric layers.

5. Philip Davidson:

   Any forces deployed to the islands would easily overwhelm the military forces of any other South China Sea-claimants.
