Levinas constitutes the theoretical basis of the"Other"through criticizing the tradition"the Same"philosophy. Beginning with escaping from"Existing", A existent appears from "Il y a" and becomes the host of Being. then via Hypostasis, Enjoyment what the form is"live from…",Habitation,Possession and Representation, Eros and Fecundity, The subject realizes the real escape from"Existing"step by step and starts to face to the Other what is like death or incommensurability Diachronic time. Its unique character is"Strangeness". In the forms of face to face with the other, responding to the other's"saying", The subject becomes the hostage and substitutes for the other, Exactly because of this it takes form a new subject concept which is more ancient than traditional ontology subject, It is not the subject that dominates the other any longer but that responds to the other and be responsible for the other. The ultimate purpose and essentials of this new subject concept is responsible to the Other rather than its being.
