The question of others put to the test by philosophy and care. Who are others? Who am I to others? What encounter is possible?

The concept of others, central in philosophy, is of utmost interest in care. As an active form of concern for others, the care relationship represents a particular form of encounter with the other because of its irreducible uniqueness. What can philosophy tell us about this issue, and, in particular, what can we draw from it and use in day-to-day care practice? Who are others? Who am I to others? What encounter is possible? These three questions will therefore constitute the main theme of this article.
