Sažetak
In order for the value structure of a given culture to be established, a number of its constituents have to be pushed beyond its boundary by shaping an abhorring figure of its Other. The exteriorization of such a figure is a necessary operation of any identity formation. According to Foucault, this entails a steady re-introduction of the delimited exterior into each interior instance of established identity. Not one of the identified instances remains ultimately spared of the rift caused by the necessity of founding elimination, although each of them tries to relegate it into oblivion. Foucault´s ethics resists such oblivion. The paper follows the further development of this ethics in the work of Maurice Blanchot, Jean-Luc Nancy and Giorgio Agamben.
