But I also think that in Levinasian terms, truly seeing someone's "face" means understanding who they are as a person, and I think that includes race/ethnicity/etc. So, perhaps it is possible to be aware of a person's cultural background, but still look past their physical Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924031206519469554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26622588.post-1161749663967143422006-10-24T21:14:00.000-07:002006-10-24T21:14:00.000-07:00Good luck, bill.

If you're new to Levinas, a good place to start might be Ethics and Infinity, which kind of outlines all his major ideas, including the notion of the face-to-face.<BR/><BR/>Nedric, I think you're probably right -- I'm always trying to push Levinas and Kierkegaard together for some reason. It does sound, though, like Levinas is saying that love is only possible if procreation is Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924031206519469554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26622588.post-1161660231728740622006-10-23T20:23:00.000-07:002006-10-23T20:23:00.000-07:00Mon--I always remember that passage where Levinas ...Mon--I always remember that passage where Levinas suggests that, ideally, we ought not notice the color of the Other's eyes...<BR/><BR/>Convert that to the color of the other's skin.

Emmanuel Levinas talks about the "face" as something that has nothing to do with the physical face. Levinas even goes so far as to say that the best way to encounter the Other is not even to notice the color of his or her eyes! Similarly, the idea is that if you are really "seeing" Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924031206519469554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26622588.post-1161340383674179602006-10-20T03:33:00.000-07:002006-10-20T03:33:00.000-07:00This may sound rather dumb, but do you mean physic...This may sound rather dumb, but do you mean physically 'see'?
