1.
others; other people; another person
Refers to people other than oneself. A somewhat formal or academic term used in writing, philosophy, psychology, and formal discussion, as distinct from the more everyday 他人.
More formal and abstract than 他人, which is the everyday word for "other people." 他者 is preferred in academic writing, philosophy, and psychology, where it often carries a nuanced sense of "the Other" as a concept.
