Levinas: The Strong and the Weak (English Subtitles)

“The Strong and the Weak“, section three of “Penser Aujourd’hui: Emmanuel Levinas“ (1991). Levinas discusses his famous analyses of the face. For Levinas, the face expresses a weakness and demands responsibility for the other. Levinas links this notion of responsibility to the Biblical ideas of “holiness“ and “election/the elect“.
