The term "Other" with a capital "O" is used throughout the postmodern literature. It means something quite different from the word "other" with a small "o". Whereas the "other" is just someone else, each person has an "Other". It is the inner voice that each of us hear evaluating us in our minds. Our "Other" might say, "Job well done." Or it might say, "You shouldn't have done that." It is possible to argue with one's Other. In fantasy one would simply explain to this imaginary voice why it is that one should do things as one did. It is also possible to hear another real person "speaking with the voice of the Other." This would mean that the other real person is saying (or one thinks she is saying) what the inner voice of the Other says.
conj. either

Other Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
The Other or Constitutive Other (also the verb othering) is a key concept in continental philosophy; it opposes the Same. The Other refers, or attempts to refer, to that which is other than the initial concept being considered. The Constitutive Other often denotes a person Other than one’s self; hence, the Other is identified as “different”; thus the spelling often is capitalized.
