Emmanuel Levinas is now widely recognised alongside Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Sartre as one of the most important Continental philosophers of the twentieth century. His abiding concern was the primacy of the ethical relation to the other person and his central thesis was that ethics is first philosophy. His work has also had a profound impact on a number of fields outside philosophy such as theology, Jewish studies, literature and cultural theory, psychotherapy, sociology, political theory, international relations theory and critical legal theory.
The question ... concerned the way in which the other intervenes in the temporality of my life and, more specifically, the relation between alterity to oneself and the alterity of the other within this temporalization. What did we discover? Mainly two things: an analysis of the experience of time as diachrony, and an analysis of the experience of the alterity of the other in terms of an-archic passivity and traumatic hetero-affection.
The link between these two things appears less clearly: is it an analogy or a deduction?
In other words, is the diachrony of my life a consequence of the other's intervention or is the way in which I experience the diachrony of my life only /similar/ to the way in which I am subjected to the command of an other who appeals to my ethical responsibility? (查看原文)
We have not always succeeded in clearly separating what, in temporalization, can be attributed to self-alterity from what depends directly on the alterity of the other.
In any case, it has not seemed possible to purely and simply reduce the experience of（p. 97）temporal self-alterity to the encounter with the alterity of the other. If the temporalization of my life by forgiveness or hope is unthinkable without a gift coming from the other, the same certainly cannot be said of the transition from one present to another present, or of a present memory of my past life.
