Thinking about the Other Pg:88

"The concept of the Other has developed over centuries through the work of philosophers such as G.W.F. Hegel, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Emmanuel Levinas, writers who asserted that to know oneself one must know others as well."

First of all, I would like to know who these philosophers are and what they taught, it may help "others" to know them.
Second, I like the last of the sentence "writers who asserted that to know oneself one must know others as well." I've found that when I forget about myself and get lost in others and lost in service I learn more about myself. This world isn't just meant for you. We are all daughters and sons of our Heavenly Father. We must love each other to finally love ourselves.
