他者的倫理學

The Ethics of the Other

本文探討法國哲學家列維納斯以他人為中心的倫理學。第一部分裡，列維納斯談論死亡是個倫理事件，是由無面容的謀殺者所執行的。但在死者的無助裡，我們也接觸到他者最為動人的面容。在本文的第二部分，我們將描述面容對任何暴力而言是種倫理的抵抗。同時，我的主體是遭受面容的召喚所前來的主體，也是與他者處於倫理上非對稱的關係、並承擔起對他者的責任的主體。在本文最後一部分，我們要分析的則是倫理學的出路與形上學的可能性。

This article will discuss the ethics of French philosopher, Emmanuel Levinas, of which the Other is the main topic. In the first section, we will describe how death is a matter of ethics, because it is caused by a faceless murderer. But in precisely the helplessness of the dead, we touch the most affecting face of the Other. In the second section, we will describe how face is the ethical resistance against any form of violence. In the meantime, I, as the subject, would be brought in case of the calling of the Other, and situated in an ethically asymmetric relationship to him. I will in this relationship take the responsibility for the Other. In the final section, we will discuss outlets for ethics and the possibilities of metaphysics.
