In many ways, Autrement qu’être represents Levinas’s effort to go beyond the framework of Totalité et infini. Indeed, according to Jacques Derrida’s critique in his essay Violence et métaphysique, Levinas is confronted with an impasse that leads him to revise his thinking on subjectivity. But, as we argue, this lead Levinas to other problems that is not able to resolve adequately.
