Abstract: Invoked rather than summoned into the world of health, is not Levinas' ethic on the mode of misunderstanding? It is not an applied ethics. Philosophy first, she is anarchist refusal to be a prisoner of the contexts. Routine of what we ordinarily mean by ethics, the Levinasian proposal brings to light an unconditioned hospitality. The stake: to translate the madness of its call into established forms of care that are necessary but not absolute.
