| Long abstract | All great thinkers cre-ate powerful con-cepts and /or images of their own but as a rule design them together with a complete universe to accom-modate them and infuse them with sense. For Emmanuel Levinas, the world he constructed was “the moral party of two,” which was self-consciously a utopia in both of its inseparable senses (i.e., of no place and good place). The moral party of two was the primal scene of morality, the test-tube in which moral selves germinate and sprout. It was also the only stage on which such selves could play themselves, i.e., as moral beings, instead of playing scripted roles and reciting someone else’s lines. The primal scene of morality is the realm of the face-to-face, of the tremendous encounter with the Other as a Face. |
