- Abstract
- The aim of this article is to complete Dan Zahavi's proposal by shedding light on a dimension of the relationship between ‘I’, ‘You’, and ‘We’ that is neglected by his article: the relationship between ‘Them and I’. After showing why this analysis is necessary, the article proposes to study how this relationship is established through the gaze, judgment, and exclusion from a group of persons. The article then shows that this process of exclusion does not lead to the creation of a collective but isolates the excluded person. Finally, it presents the necessary conditions to overcome this isolation by creating a group, which requires an understanding of the role of emotions and common intentions in action. To belong to a group requires to act together.
