And now for academic jargon at its worst. From p. 194 of Emmanuel Levinas's Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority (first of all, what on Earth does that mean?)
The Other is not other with a relative alterity as are, in a comparison, even ultimate species, which mutually exclude one another but still have their place within the community of a genus--excluding one another by their definition, but calling for one another by this exclusion, across the community of their genus.
Kudos to you if you can translate that into English.

Its a story about the outside. One can not look outside while still being inside and have a clear picture of the outside. Big words, probably stoned.
