Levinas : “I am responsible for the Other…”

Posté par admin
vendredi 24 juin 2005 [n° 163]

“…I am responsible for the Other without waiting for reciprocity, were I to die for it. Reciprocity is his affair. It is precisely insofar as the relation between the Other and me is not reciprocal that I am subjection to the Other; and I am “subject” essentially in this sense. It is I who support all…The I always has one responsibility more than all the others.”

Emmanuel Levinas

“I’m just beginning to wake up to the fact that the concern with the ethical relation in French philosophy is to be found in the work of Levinas”.
