![]() ![]() Since Levinas’s key notion of the ‘face’, which cannot be equated to any actual countenance, breaks with phenomenality – no small issue for an avowed phenomenology – this thesis will begin by treating the category of the other (or Other) in Levinas’s writings as a conundrum. Consequently, it foregrounds two distinct conceptions of philosophy, which differ with respect to task, strategy and presentational form. It attends to the fundamental ‘metaphysical’ differences between the two with respect to ontology, language and historicity. My thesis contests a putative congruity between Derrida and Levinas concerning discussions of responsibility, ethics and otherness.
