To be


Explanation:
Dear

To be "like this"(or "yourself") does seem to be in the right direction, but I think the whole title is needed for a proper answer..

agree  MMUlr: -> "Being similar - and different "... (maybe?) - but anyway, strange idea to translate a reference list with originally German titles!

thanks for all options, I like the reference to Sartre and believe it is very appropriate in my context.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: If there is no official English title, I would leave the German and add this translation parenthetically: "Sosein - und Anders: ..." (Being and Otherness ...). [Note that it plays on Sartre's "Being and Nothingness"]

  -> thanks; good idea to use both the German and English, if necessary
