Association of Levinas Readers and Talkers: A.L.E.R.T.

“ In fact, for Levinas the primary connotation of “self” is not an interiority closed in upon itself. When the self is true to itself it is nothing but that which is established by its response to the Other. It is the other person who disrupts our complacency, our sameness, our self-sufficiency, and, in the attention he or she commands, establishes the self that we are in reality, a face without any rear area, an occiput, to conceal itself, a complete exposure” (Annette Aronowicz)
