This short essay engages in a careful reading of a passage from “The Face” by Emmanuel Levinas, drawing on the concepts of identity and logic relational. Questions regarding Levinas's assumptions about time, space and the form of being will be posed to the text in order to create a dialogue with its meaning. The potential implications of these hypotheses will also be explored through the consideration of hinge words and key phrases. No tangible conclusions will be drawn; however arguments will unfold that demonstrate the possibilities of this passage as it relates to the creation of knowledge and understanding of everyday ways of being. Levinas asserts that the relationship to the face is dominated by perception and thus demonstrates the conception of what a person is rather than what a person is, this fundamental ideology arises from a logic of identity in the social world. The etymological question of the specific hinge word perception, from the Latin perceptionem, is the reception or collection of; and therefore in the sense of a logic of identity and the associated hypothesis of a chronological time, perception is the expectation of receiving or collecting the individual as he is aesthetically and physically, for example the nature of a binary logic between man and woman. There is a sense of impatience and a desire to identify an individual through categories of traditional attributes that distance and detach each individual from one another, such as eye color, who else has that eye color and so we can then say that he or she looks like him or her. This expectation of association creates a defined being, who focuses on individual identity and whose face prevents us from killing. The relational logic linked to this state of being, the trust and participation in this relationship, creates an awareness and respect for the unique being. Consequently, the hypothesis of humanity in man is part of a relational logical approach to the social world. Dialogical engagement with Levinas’s “The Face” revealed a constant shift between identity and relational logics. Levinas discusses the face creatively and thereby constructs an alternative approach to understanding everyday ways of being, notably by highlighting the gap between the questions of what an individual is and who an individual is. From an interpretive point of view, identity logics limit humanity and the potential for social interaction. Thus, the hypothesis of vulnerability and humanity in humans can only occur by applying relational logic to the social world..
