Abstract

Abstract This article analyses the different modes of relation that are exhibited in the work of Emmanuel Levinas (1906–1995). Starting with the thesis that there is no single definition of relation as such in Levinas's thought, the article focuses, first, on his early work, On Escape (1935), Time and the Other (1947), Existence and Existents (1947) and the captivity notebooks ( Carnets de captivité ), and elaborates the relation between the I and the Other against the background of his notions of fecundity and eros. The notion of subjectivity is consequently presented in its relationship to the face and the infinite, highlighting an ethical mode of relation between the subject and the Other. Finally, Levinas's Talmudic readings are taken to motivate the messianic mode of relation – opening up, in the conclusion, a new approach to the Other from the perspective of a messianic subjectivity.

列维纳斯作品中的关系模式

摘要本文分析了列维纳斯(Emmanuel Levinas, 1906-1995)作品中所表现出的不同关系模式。本文从列维纳斯的思想中没有单一的关系定义这一论点出发，首先关注他的早期作品《论逃避》(1935)、《时间与他者》(1947)、《存在与存在者》(1947)和囚禁笔记(Carnets de captivit)，并在他的繁殖力和爱欲观念的背景下阐述我与他者之间的关系。因此，主体性的概念在它与面孔和无限的关系中被提出，突出了主体性与大他者的关系的伦理模式。最后，列维纳斯的塔木德读物被用来激发弥赛亚的关系模式-在结论中，从弥赛亚主体性的角度打开了一种新的方法。
