I hope I will not be accused of mental colonialism by attributing to Europe the role which belongs to it historically: that of the Self, which leaves the position of the Other for us. Consequently, this text ought to begin with the view taken of the Other (the European view of the Brazilians) and continue with the view held by the Other (the Brazilian view of the Europeans).

1. The Conference Mirada del otro, mirada sobre el otro was held at the 25th General Assembly of the Interna tional Council of Philosophy and Human Sciences which took place in Buenos Aires between 25 September and 2 October 2000, that is in the same year as the commemoration in Brazil of the quincentennial of the discovery of their country by the Portuguese. This was a happy coincidence for a Brazilian guest like me, allowing an examination of the two subjects which formed the theme of the Conference, from the very beginnings of the history of Brazil: the view held by the Other and the view taken of the Other. The text which follows opened the Conference. The articles by N. Jitrik and N. Rosa were also given at the Con ference.
