Example text
Thus, beyond apology, and beyond any gift of the possibility of justice to the other, though together with these and as the condition of their possibility as gifts, the subject must say yes, for the other, to the most abyssal dimension of factical existence. The responsible subject must acquiesce to the seemingly irredeemable dimensions of existence for the ethical relation to be fulfilled. Even the il y a signifies, Levinas asserts. But he does not mean that it is made meaningful. Rather, the subject lets its powerlessness over this dimension of existence be (instead of recoiling from it in work), and bears this very powerlessness for and to the other.
He emphasizes that it is revealed only in the course of a history and through the exigency of response. Justifying the first of the three points addressed to Pasternak’s question, Blanchot points to the painful evidence offered by history: “If Judaism is destined to take on meaning for us, it is indeed by showing that, at whatever time, one must be ready to set out, because to leave (to go to the outside) is the exigency from which one cannot escape if one wants to maintain the possibility of a just relation” (IC 125/183).

How am I to recognize the other before knowing who or what the other is? Levinas urges that teaching occurs in the sheer presence of autrui (the Torah is given in the light of a face to which acquiescence must inevitably be accorded, if only to be refused). ” Fully historical in its instantiation, but of the same temporal order, “being Jewish” would name the ground of that latter act.
