For Levinas the other is presented to the self as a face.
In Totality and Infinity, Emmanuel Levinas argues that the other person cannot be reduced to an object of my knowledge. The other appears as the face, which addresses me and commands 'thou shalt not kill', placing an ethical demand on me before any theory. This is why he calls ethics first philosophy.
