ok, thanks, but the cheetah too ? :P
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Apr 17, 2015:
The Other is a whole category, an abstraction, a concept, not a particular embodiment. Similarly, the hyena is all the hyenas: the hyena roams the plains of Africa .
George BuLah (X) Apr 17, 2015:
dlaczego "[the] other" w l. pojedynczej ?
George BuLah (X) Apr 17, 2015:
sadząc choćby tylko po "Masłowskiej" ;) ... innych powinno się chyba oddać - others, a - temat jako rodzaj koncepcji, więc - concept chyba byłoby OK
