The negation relation with the Other is reciprocal unlike that with things

Evidence

However, the fact is that neither individuals as free-floating entities nor communities as solidaristic wholes occupy the social space on their own. Each is constituted in and through its relation to that which is other and different from itself. If this is not to result in either “the war of all against all” or a segregated communalism, then we must look for how both the greater recognition of difference and greater equality and justice for all can become part of a common “horizon.” — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 378 (#qualifies, via linked claim)
