The other for Levinas is related to the self :
Answer: D
For Levinas the Other relates to the self in infinity.
In Totality and Infinity (1961), Levinas argues that the face of the Other cannot be comprehended or absorbed into the self's totality of knowledge. The Other overflows every idea I have of him, so the relation is one of infinity, which places an ethical demand on me.
Numerical or qualitative difference would make the Other one more item in a totality, which is exactly what Levinas denies, and finitude describes the self's own limits rather than its relation to the Other.
