The relation of the Greeks to the barbarians is a typical example; so are all the cases in which the general characteristics one takes as peculiarly and merely human are disallowed to the other. But here the expression “the stranger” no longer has any positive meaning. The relation with him is a non-relation; he is not what we have been discussing here: the stranger as a member of the group itself.

DEFINE: Distinguishes the stranger-as-group-member from the stranger-as-outsider, where the relation is a non-relation with no positive meaning.

DEFINE: Distinguishes the 'stranger within the group' from the wholly excluded barbarian/outsider whose relation is a non-relation. XREF: Relates to Simmel's distinction between the stranger as a member versus the total outsider.
