Summary/Abstract: In this paper we see the concept of the other in literature not as a cognitive-sensory concept within the artistic structure of literary work, but as a category of teleology of literary epistemology from the viewpoint of art philosophy phenomenology and existential communication. Diffuse relationship of self and the other objectified in Albanian literature speaks of diffuse stance that our self-consciousness has towards individuality and our collective identity. In most of Albanian literature the ego reveals itself as being, whose existence is determined by the extent of highlighting the difference and seclusion from the other and the possibility of its extinction, or even defence against him. In fact, the conception of the relationship of self to the other, encountered in Albanian literature, speaks of the possibilities and position of narrow borders that impede the realization of our consciousness and its raising into self-consciousness. Incorrect conceptualization of the subject’s relation to the object will have negative consequences resulting in incorrect configuration of the relation between the Ego and the consciousness of the creator. Sensory and perception consciousness, expressed in Hegelian terms, will not be able to be raised at the level of intellectual consciousness, because it will always be in relation to un-real/false Ego, which will lack sufficient integrative capacities for reality of own existence as well as integrative and inciting powers of the consciousness to reach to the highest level of its existence – at the level of self-consciousness. This is the reason why a greatest part of Albanian literature will not have emancipator role. On the contrary.
