Emmanuel Levinas's theory centers on ethics as the first philosophy, emphasizing the primacy of the Other in human relationships. He argues that our responsibility to the Other transcends traditional notions of self-interest and knowledge, positioning ethical encounters as foundational to human existence. Levinas critiques Western philosophy's focus on ontology and knowledge, advocating for an understanding of identity that emerges through interpersonal connection and the recognition of the Other's humanity. His work highlights the ethical implications of face-to-face interactions, suggesting that true understanding arises from our obligations to others.
