AB - This research delves into the ‘ontological adventure’ which is initiated by Emmanuel Levinas as his ethical foundation. This paper searches Levinas’ works from his early to the latest in order to track this adventure. Levinas started this adventure as he wondered the limitation of the Western Philosophy which is founded on ontology, and he focused on the differences between of existence and existents. He concentrated on the phenomenological meaning of the Other’s face and human relation. As humanity meets the face, he or she can listen to the petition of the face. This leads them to experience the Infinity. Through this experience, humanity realizes the significance of subjectivity which is based on the identity of selfhood rather than that of sameness. At this moment, the subject experience a completely new dimension of being, called, ‘substitution.’ Finally, the subject formulates the ‘ethical subjectivity’ who is responsible of the petition of the other. Thus, this research paper studies the ethical foundation of Levinas which is based on the conception of responsibility as this pursuits the ontological adventure.
