Abstract

Pour Lévinas, la subjectivité – aussi bien dans sa relation avec l’être que dans sa relation avec autrui – est originairement responsable. Comment une telle responsabilité, qui n’est pas la simple conséquence de la liberté du sujet, est-elle possible ? C’est seulement à partir de l’incarnation, à partir de la pesanteur même du corps, que le sujet apparaît comme responsable en ce sens et que par conséquent prend sens chez Levinas la notion même de responsabilité.For Levinas, subjectivity – as well in his relationship with the being, as with his relationship with the other – is from the beginning responsible. How is such a responsibility, which is not the mere consequence of the freedom of the subject possible ? It is only from the embodiment, from the very gravity of the body, that the subject appears as responsible in that sense and that consequently the very notion of responsibility assumes a meaning for Levinas
