Abstract Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology can be seen as a specific


reduction of meaning to its temporal constitution . Temporality as the
universal horizon of Being makes any transcendence and meaning
beyond time impossible. Levinas opposes such reduction of sense to
finitude and historicity for ethical reasons. However, in his attempt to
overcome Heidegger's primacy of time and transcend its totality, he
must look for a completely different conception of significance which
goes hand in hand with a new, "diachronic" understanding of time
