This interval that separates, this discontinuous manifestation is the question of “who” exceeding the question of “what” as same and other begin to take different paths, the one irreducible to the other.

In interrogating subjectivity, we will find this disturbance, for the subject as the one for the other, the one by the other, is, as such, an otherness that disturbs and disrupts our idea of self, our singular consciousness, and puts the same into question. Levinas writes:

Subjectivity is the other in the same, in a way that also differs from that of the presence of the presence of interlocutors to one another in a dialogue, in which they are at peace and in agreement with one another. The other in the same determinative of subjectivity is the restlessness of the same disturbed by the other. This is not the correlation characteristic of intentionality, or even that of dialogue, which attests to essence by its essential reciprocity. The folding back of being upon itself, and the self formed by this fold, where the effect of being remains correlative with being, also does not go to the crux of subjectivity. [AE 46–47/OTB 25]
