Levinas's account of responsibility challenges dominant notions of
time, autonomy, and subjectivity according to Cynthia D. Coe.
Employing the concept of trauma in Levinas's late writings, Coe
draws together his understanding of time and his claim that
responsibility is an obligation to the other that cannot be
anticipated or warded off. Tracing the broad significance of these
ideas, Coe shows how Levinas revises our notions of moral agency,
knowledge, and embodiment. Her focus on time brings a new
interpretive lens to Levinas's work and reflects on a wider
discussion of the fragmentation of human experience as an ethical
subject. Coe's understanding of trauma and time offers a new
appreciation of how Levinas can inform debates about gender, race,
mortality, and animality.
