Keywords: Other; asymmetrical relationship; meaning; speech situation; performativity
Summary/Abstract: In the fi rst major work of Emmanue Lévinas, the reception of the Other is in fact the reception of the meaning coming from the Other, that is a speech situation. The meaning of the thematized world and the meaning of the Other, of presence is simultaneously created in speech. The latter is important primarily because when questioning the constitutive activity of the mind, it dislodges the world “possessed” by the self from its fi xed position, calling attention upon the possibility and responsibility of to re-thematizing the world. These two meanings can only be separated based on the performativity of speech.
