Abstract
The duality or separation of self and me is central to the thinking of Emmanuel Levinas, but it is difficult to understand, not least because of the powerful hold that John Lockeâs account of personal identity still has on our thinking of the self. By drawing on Augustine and especially Jean-Luc Marionâs reading of Augustine in In the Selfâs Place, it is possible to gain insight into Augustineâs not yet Lockean account of the self so as to arrive at Levinasâs no longer Lockean account.
