Subjectivity and infinity

Emmanuel Levinas

pp. 131-171

The implication of the subject in signification, shown in proximity, is equivalent neither to the shifting of signification over to the objective side, spreading out its terms on a common ground through their apparition in being and through the very appearing of being — nor to its reduction to what is called a subjective lived experience. But we should first recall the way being carries on on the objective side, absorbing the subject which is correlative with an object, and triumphing, in the truth of its "move," both over the primacy of the subjective and over the subject-object correlation.
