identity -thinking

[bianca]

thanks to all!
I knew more or less the things that you(bianca) told me but I want to know whether Identity-thinking is some kind of thinking that causes one to take "the other" the same as oneself.

I've never heard of Adorno or the other guys above, but since you mentioned postmodernism I know the gist of it (as far as identity is concerned). Taking the 'other' the same as oneself, if I understand you right, is smth close to that - the individual becomes decentered (from Center to Otherness) or lacking any unified self; identity is thus an emerging concept, a mozaic of roles and experiences, not an absolute concept.
