The Levinasian concern with “l’ethicité de l’éthique” (Derrida) leads him to re-think it, in line with the Hebrew “kadosh”, in terms of meta-ethics as a dual relationship and as “prima philosophia” – this paper seeks to show how, in the radicality of its meta-ontological register, such a meta-ethics, apart from making us think the joint genesis of subjectivity and unconditional responsibility, carries a new thought of justice and, consequently, a kind of new paradigm in order to re-think the instituted in general as well as «mondialization/globalization»: it is the complex problematics of the “third” (testis, terstis) that, with this title «The tragic imbroglio of the other and others» (M. Blanchot), is elucidated here with the main intention of highlighting the ambiguity of the term justice (justitia / jus) – and its implications in the field of Law/Right and Human Rights – in the scope of the thought and work of Emmanuel Lévinas.
