AB - In this paper I pay attention to the fundamental question of ethics, namely the question ‘Why should I act morally?’ the binding and inevitability of moral conduct. From this point of view, I try to understand and assess Levinas' ethics of the Other. Despite his insight into the universal viewpoints is inherent to the demand of the morality and justification of action, it is hard to say that Kant has succeeded in solving that problem, and Levinas is in a similar position. I review this point critically. And by doing so, we evaluate Levinas' view of linking the directness and immediacy of infinite responsibility to the moral sensibility of the ethical subject, from which I will show positively Levinas’s fundamental insights into which the Other and the Subject of substitution in Levinas’s ethics can be regarded as a communicable sympathetical subject.
