Philosophers, scientists and researchers, writers, scholars and educators have attempted to delve into some of the many aspects of understanding the other person. But as the philosopher, Emanuel Levinas, noted: “The face of the other is always that person which is not me. Therefore it remains an unsolved enigma.”
This book seeks to unveil the enigma behind “the face of the other”. It approaches the issue of understanding the other human being in an original, resourceful manner, different from all approaches to date. This is done by exploring the way in which the human mind works including the challenges that our brain was forced to solve by evolution, and the social factors affecting our thoughts and actions.
In this book we explore the human difficulties to understand the other person, particularly when the other does not belong to the same cultural group as our own. This book presents new theses, explaining the roots of the issue. One can find here handy tools that assist in coping with the difficulty of bridging the disparities existing in the current theories. I hope it will help to bring about new insights, which will impact the conduct of individuals and groups.
In this book we'll delve into broad scope of issues, with insights which help to link all these issues, in a clear coherent structure.
Despite the complexity of some subjects and fields with which this book deals, it is presented in a highly accessible way, offering an enjoyable read, and accompanied by original illustrations by the author.
