The general crisis of individualism is reflected in the conflicts generatedby human beings themselves in different parts of the planet: fundamentalism,xenophobia, gender violence, wars, genocide, and exploitation ofhuman beings. Politically, individualism is presented under the form ofextreme Manichean positions: left or right, capitalism or socialism, liberalismor communism. However, human society is much more complex;these simplifications are no longer possible. Neither the left nor the rightwill provide paradise, even less if their exponents think themselves to bepossessors of absolute truth. On the other hand, respect for the diversity ofthe other view is not exhausted in the development of critical thinking. Thepurpose of this review is to schematically describe the viewpoint ofTischner, based on the notion of encounter to refer to the original experiencewith another human being where the other takes the highest level ofpersuasion. The encounter with another is the agathologic horizon of theinterpersonal experience, and opens up the possibility of meeting withoneself in a new way. By impotence or ignorance many tragedies are possible,and in fact they have taken place in the darkest periods of mankind,when evil apparently killed good, resulting in the most sadistic forms ofselfishness. Finally, the present review tends to demonstrate that on theagathologic horizon, the manifestations of the other and oneself are developedin a true sense of the good and the bad, the different logos that fit thedrama or tragedy in interpersonal relationships.
