Abstract
Due to the social innate of the human being, loneliness is basically impossible. Society is formed not by "me" but with the “other” which is "you". Bakhtin is one of those who discusses that other`s entity is what makes "self". In this paper, "self" and "other" are discussed in Nima`s thought. By "other", we mean another voice and language other than mine. In addition, the paper attempted to assess different aspects of this issue. For this purpose, the ideas of Michael Bakhtin, a Russian scholar, have been used. The present research was based on the qualitative method and discourse analysis, qualitative content analysis, and sensitivity analysis were also used.
The findings showed that Nima, by discussing subjects such as "self" and "other", is one of those post-Constitution  (Mashroutiat) poets in Iran who works on this subject seriously. But due to his obsession to Hegel`s dialectic, in later stages of his work, Nima seizes the difference between "I" and "other" to the benefit of a unified, coherent and unique world.
