For Levinas, the face of the other is :
Answer: A
For Levinas the face of the other is a moral summon for responsibility.
In Totality and Infinity (1961), Emmanuel Levinas makes ethics first philosophy. The face of the other person confronts me before any knowledge or choice, and in its vulnerability says 'thou shalt not kill'. The face calls me to an infinite responsibility for the other that I cannot refuse.
Levinas sets this ethical relation against the attempt of knowledge, science and reason to grasp the other as an object, so the epistemological and intellectual options reverse his point, and the face is not an object of aesthetic pleasure.
