responsibility
Avital Ronell: "Anyone who's sure of themselves, of their morals and intentions, is not truly ethical, is not struggling heroically with the mandate of genuine responsibility. It is impossible to ever be fully responsible because you are never done being responsible or never responsible enough--you've never given or offered or done enough for those suffering. That's a law shared by Dostoyevsky, Levinas, and Derrida: one never meets one's responsible quota, which is set at an infinite bar (hence the invention of the figure of Christ, our infinite creditor)." Labels: ethics, philosophy, suffering
