Abstract

This essay provides an explanation of how Levinas's unique philosophy of ethics, his separation of justice from ethics, and his views of language and communication come together to articulate not a system or code of ethics, but the impossibility of any systematization or codification of one's obligations. Only by understanding the tensions between ethics and justice in Levinas's writing and by relating those to his philosophy of communication can we understand the significance of a Levinasian communication ethic.
