This chapter focuses upon the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, offering readings of Levinas' major works and the essay, "The Temptation of Temptation." It is devoted to defining the temporality and structure of the ethical relation (in relation to what Levinas calls "prophetic witness") and the possibility of something he terms a "sabbatical existence."
