Evidence

This resistance indeed is based on the fact that the Other is given to me as a concrete evident presence which I can in no way derive from myself and which can in no way be placed in doubt nor made the object of a phenomenological reduction or of any other . — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 750
