emphasizes on the "otherness" of other
The Other For Emmanuel Levinas, it is "the
stranger who disturbs the being at home with
oneself"
Familiarity For Emmanuel Levinas, this feeling
prevents a genuine encounter with the other.
Their presence becomes so stale, we no longer
anticipate something new.
Despite the experience of familiarity, however,
he asserts that the other remains different from
us
Levinas stated that "Over him i have no power.
He escapes my grasp.."
For him, power over another person can never
be absolute because of the capacity of a person
to resist it.
The Other Remains infinitely transcendent,
infinitely foreign. There is always be something
about it that will escape you. It is infinitely
transcendent.
Transcendent Means above and beyond
Genuine encounter An invitation to go beyond
what you see, what is given
Gabriel Marcel
Contemporary friend of Emmanuel Levinas who
said that "to be is to be with"
