Philosophy of Ethics
Links:

Synopsis:
  • The Other is not knowable and cannot be made into an object
  • One's experience of another individual is not founded on that Other (on the self of the other individual)
  • "The Other is otherwise than being"
  • Ethical version of phenomenology
  • Ethics precedes ontology
  • Preeminence of the Other (the "you")
  • Ethics is not a matter of self-convenience
  • God as the ultimate manifestation of the Other
  • "The essence of discourse is ethical"
