Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine two issues – that of the alien and of violence – within the framework of responsive phenomenology proposed by Bernhard Waldenfels. The author demonstrates how each of these phenomena necessitate a radicalized version of phenomenological reduction – a responsive reduction. This helps us understand the essential significance that problems of the alien and of violence play in Waldenfels’ responsive ethics.
