Considering José Cadalso's Noches Lúgubres [Lugubrious Nights], the article reflects on the possibilities of recognizing the other as a condition for an effective process of alterity. In Tediato, the main character and who is plunged into darkness, it is possible to recognize an existential condition pushed to the limit, which needs the presence of the other to unveil another possibility of meaning. A reunion with oneself is, then, the condition for an opening to the other, which appears as a new existential possibility because the vital meaning of existence depends largely on our relationship with others. Hence, the relevance of understanding that human beings become human as long as they have the ability of coming out of themselves to give themselves without reciprocity.
