E. Levinas, Time and the Other (Pittsburgh: Duquesne University Press, 1987), 41. Similar to Levinas, this breakthrough toward one’s identity and hence the universe’s identity cannot be achieved either through knowledge or ecstatic transcendence toward the universe (which would imply one’s disappearance as person). Thus when we speak about the universe as communion we mean that solitude can be exceeded while the identities of both a human being and the universe are preserved as distinct. ↵
