Levinas's "Outside the Law"：Inspired by Agamben's Interpretation

The purpose of this paper is to examine the ethics of E. Levinas in terms of the relationship between law and "outside" of law, and the issue of "life" that exists at the boundary between law and ethics. Taking G. Agamben's reference to Levinas as a clue, we point out that the Levinasian subject is constituted at the point where law, ethics and life intersect.
