Exceeding the Christian moral principle of neighborly love, which requires to consider the other "as yourself",
the principle of privileged otherness is based on ascertaining, obviously valid only within ethical horizon, the
asymmetry of the relationship I-Other: the Other is not equal to me but has all the privileges in relation to myself. In
fact, to be deeply human means being-for-another. This is the essence of human nature – Man understood as a moral
being – the primeval origin and foundation: once I discovered the other as more important than myself, I am no
longer responsible for my acts only; to a great extent I am responsible for the Other's own responsibility.
